We were very proud, and amazed to hear that our advance track from the new album - Staring At The Sun - hit NUMBER 1 in the EKR playlist chart, beating PINK - apparently a big star ;) - down to number 2. Thanks to everybody who made that happen!

COVER STORY
CREDO FEATURED ON COVER CD OF CLASSIC ROCK PRESENTS PROG ISSUE 14
Credo are featured in a two-page spread in the current issue of CLASSIC Rock Presents Prog ON SALE NOW. Mike and Tim talk in particular about the band’s history and the new album - AGAINST REASON. And reveal that, at the very least, their bandmates are not arseholes...
A track from Credo's forthcoming new CD "Against Reason", enitled "Staring at the Sun", is featured on the cover CD of the January issue (No 14) of Classic Rock Presents Prog magazine. The cover CD also includes tracks from Pallas, Spocks Beard and Panic Room among others, and is a great listen.
The first dates of the planned 2011 TOUR have now been arranged. Credo will be playing as much as possible in 2011 to celebrate the release of their forthcoming 3rd album - AGAINST REASON.

IT’S A LONG, LONG ROAD...
ALBUM RELEASE DELAYED
15 May 2010
AND THE WINNER IS...
NEW ALBUM TITLE DECIDED
After trimming our long list of suggestions down to a shortlist of a dozen, and hummed and hawed over whether to have a Proportional Representation or a First Past The Post electoral system; and had secret meetings with minority parties to form a coalition, we have a democratically elected new album title: 'Against Reason'. You can read more about it here.
Despite our best efforts, various personal and technical issues have led to a delay in finishing the album. This is just par for the course on a creative project like this, but we think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, and our new target of April 2011 seems eminently doable! You can read more about the recording of the album here.

The CD is available to BUY NOW from www.progrock.co.uk. You can hear a sample track Staring at the Sun and read reviews as they come in. PHEW...

IS IT REASONABLE...?
CREDO RELEASE 3RD ALBUM - AGAINST REASON TODAY!
Some might say that this band is just one big out-take. Now you can see it’s true! Credo are pleased to reveal their first foray into (errr...) professional film-making with Part 1 of the Against Reason Documentary, available to view now. This short film by Time Inkwell takes a light-hearted look at the individual band members and their thoughts on the making of Against Reason and the Credo journey so far. Watch it on the Against Reason page >>

AUTUMN 2011 NEWSLETTER
We had such a good time on the Against Reason Tour, we have been busy arranging some more! But out of the blue, we are very, very pleased this week to have been asked to appear at the this year’s Summer’s End Festival. Always sorry to hear of problems for other bands, but we are delighted to be playing a lively 75 minute afternoon set. Hope to see you there!

RIFFS GIG CANCELLED
We are very sorry to have to announce the late cancellation of our last gig of the year at Riffs Bar, Swindon on Friday 25 November, due to the sudden death of Mike’s father. We are very sorry for any inconvenience but obviously our thoughts are with Mike and his family at this time. We hope to see you all in February when we will be touring with Comedy of Errors - details coming shortly.
We are pleased to be able to confirm however that the show WILL go on this Friday with our good friends GODSTICKS now headlining and our old chums ALSO EDEN opening. So please come along and support them!

WHAT COULD BE NICER...?
We are really chuffed to have been given an award by The Hairy Network. We like to think it is our longevity, gravitas and commitment to always giving our best. But it’s probably another reference to waistline... Below is our commendation. (Full Awards details here >>).
Stout Yeomen of Prog Award: Credo
Having seen them twice and heard their excellent Against All Reason album, bands like Credo are the backbone of British prog. They played in front of a criminally small audience at the Peel earlier this year and then stepped in at very short notice to feature on the bill at Summer’s End. On both occasions, they were entertaining and prolific musically. And when larger than life frontman Mark Colton sings angry, you had better believe it!
