Crem Road records
@cremroad

We're Crem Road, established on the web as a collective in 1997, although we changed our name over time.

We offer our featured music projects' releases for free, with free download as well as unlimited streaming, with no account required, no advertising, no tracking, directly from our main website cremroad.com !

We support punk philosophy and the DIY ethos when talking about creating music (and not only), and our projects' style ranges from garage rock, lofi, noise to minimal folk, IDM or alternative electronica. Most notably, we are an internet home for Me In The Bath, Gorbie's Stuff, DidJaws, Silence International and a handful of other music projects. Our approach of aesthetic is definitively raw and authentic.

We allowed the issuing of more than 170 releases, using lightweight means like the legendary Crem Road home studio, free software, or DIY instruments like the homemade drum kit. Our current website runs under our homebrew open-source CMS.

Our whole catalog is centered toward a little more than a dozen of musicians which are recurring among the music projects we feature, being, members, former members, guest musician, or solo artist, from project to project.

We started as a small teenager group of music making fellows from the alternative music scene from the Nord-Isère area, near the city of Lyon in France.

Our primary objective here is to reach €1.40/week of supporter donations, which would be enough to fund entirely our fee for our affordable web hosting and the domain names associated. Besides this, most of our expenses are due to the need to add or renew musical and computer gear.

Over years we are still alive thank to our various supporters who made some direct donations, but they occur randomly and we hope the "subscription" scheme used by Liberapay will give us the visibility a sustained support provides. For our web hosting and for the first time over a decade, in December 2025 we are still missing about €25 to avoid a loss year.

Please help, and thank you for your support !

PS: please note that our roster includes less than 1% of standard copyright music. We work hard to always lower this rate, and still hope to someday be able to have the (currently) less-than-1% freed as most of our music is.
