The Defectors are a Danish rock band originating from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 1997. Originally consisting of members Mort Harder, Mik Stegger, Jonas Jørgensen, Martin Budde and Torben Skovgaard, the band cites the sixties garage rock and early formation of punk as its main influences. The band maintains this through its work, typically being classified as either a Garage Rock or Punk revival band.

History

The band formed in the members' hometown of Aarhus, Denmark in 1997, under the original moniker of Thee Fuzz Arts. The band then intended to switch its name to The Persuaders, but upon finding that name to be taken, finally settled on The Defectors in 1998. There was a lengthy delay in getting the band's music to the North American audience, however, a deal was soon arranged. Shortly thereafter, the band, released its first full-length album with Let Me—on ESP Recordings of Kick Music, Denmark.[1] The Defectors have gone on to release four more albums, the most recent being Bruised and Satisfied on Bad Afro Records in March 2007.
