The Human League于1977年成立于英格兰谢菲尔德，1978年The Human League发表了首支单曲，他们是最早和最具创新精神的乐队，他们打入主流的流行浪潮和电子节奏。这是一支享有国际声誉的极为成功的电子流行乐队。“人类同盟”乐队最初由几个实验电子音乐家组成。伊恩·马什(1酊lMarsh)和马丁·韦尔(MartynWare)是谢菲尔德的两个电脑专家兼合成器高手，主唱菲利普·奥基(PhilipOakey)是一个外科医院的打杂工，三个缺乏专业音乐素质的人于1977年6月组成了这个乐队。最后一个成员阿德里安·赖特(AdrianWright)是个舞台导演，他确定了乐队的舞台表演风格。　　该乐队在现场表演和录音室方面都成为革新者，他们在爱丁堡的独立唱片公司Fast录制的里程碑式的单曲(被激怒／死亡马戏》(BeingBoiled／CircusofDemh)和12寸唱片<劳工的尊严)(TheDignityo／Labour)受到了音乐刊物的一致好评。1979年4月，他们与Virgin公司签约，出版了两张专辑《复制品》(Reproduction，1979)、<旅行见闻)(Travelogue，1980)和一些单曲，尽管这些努力确立了“人类同盟”在英国乐坛现代化电子乐队中的领先地位，并获得了相当的好评，但他们的商业成功却有限。

Credo is the ninth studio album by The Human League. It is their first studio album since Secrets in 2001. It has been produced by fellow Sheffield act I Monster and is released on Wall of Sound.



The first single from the album, "Night People" was released on 22 November 2010. Follow up single "Never Let Me Go" was released on 1 March 2011. "Egomaniac" is the second single in Germany, Austria and Switzerland because The Human League have secured a slot on a major German TV show for a performance of 'Egomaniac'. There will however be no remixes and no video for this single. The TV programme aired on Friday 4th March and the single was released the same day. In those three territories the album itself was released on Friday 11th March in order to narrow the gap between the TV airing and the album being available. In the rest of the EU the album will now be released on Monday 21st March in order to narrow the gap between the release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and the rest of the continent. The album will not receive worldwide distribution. Furthermore, 'Credo' will not be available domestically in the US or on iTunes in the US.
