The Defectors - Baby Gimme Love (E.S.P. Recordings 2001)

With second album release "Baby Gime Love", Danish 60's Punk combo The Defectors are finally taking their rightful place in Garage-Heaven. First album "Let Me..." gave us an act with great insight of the core of 60's inspired Garage, and with a great talent of making it work in tunes and appearace. "Let Me..." opened the world to The Defectors, and accomplished great reviews, touring and International Tv-appearance on MTV "Alternative Nation" and was presented as only Danish act by marc Almond on New Music Television. Now the Defectors are about to show the World (again) that they mean serious business. as the debut "Let Me..." showed everybody that these 5 geezers have what it takes to call themselves 60'ies inspired Garage, second album "Baby Gimme Love" takes The Defectors over the top, and in 13 Rock'n'Rolling tracks show the World that The Defectors have what it takes to stay in business. "Baby Gimme Love" is a certified 60's Punk classic already. Every song made with great feeling, proving these guys have Rock'n'Roll in their veins. One track better than the next one and all sticking together like Garage-glue to one big beautiful lump of true Garage-Energy. Among the 13 tracks you'll also find a couple of necessary covers classic lust'O'Rama Garage hit "I Can't Do) Another Mistake" and Mr. Elvis Costello's evergreen "You Belong to me", which the Defectors with small means have made into the true Garage song it always has been! With "Baby Gimme Love", The Defectors proves in every sense that they're on the top of the current international Garage-scene and they intend to stay there for a looonnnggg time!  (Amazon customer review)

The Defectors - Let Me... (E.S.P. Recordings 1998)

The Defectors play 60's inspired garage punk in the vein of bands like Miracle Workers, Fuzztones, Gravedigger V and Stomachmouths. They're into the sounds and looks of 60's instruments like the Farfisa Organ, Rickenbacker guitar and bass, Vox guitar and Fender amplifiers, also using the effects of the period - fuzzboxes, trems, spring reverbs and tape echo - to re-create the sounds they admire.

The members are all "defected" from other bands to join under the psychedelic banner and spread the garage virus. The band was formed in 1997 as Thee Fuzz Arts by Martin Budde (drums/organ) (of psychobilly band Godless Wicked Creeps), Nikolaj Grummesgaard (guitar/vocals)(now guitarist in Godless Wicked Creeps) and Torben Skovgaard (bass). This constellation contributed a song to a tribute album to local football team AGF, before recruiting Jonas Jorgensen to play drums. This freed Martin to concentrate on plying organ and enabled the band to play live. Shortly after that Mort Harder took over lead vocal chores and they changed the band name to the Persuaders. The Persuaders was, however, by no means an original band name, it turned out, so late 1998 saw them change again - this time to their present name. Nikolaj left to join Godless Wicked Creeps shortly thereafter, and he was replaced by Mik Stegger. They recorded their debut album early 1999. They worked for a month on old analogue equipment, which means they spent five days recording and 26 days soldering things that were broke.
The album is called "Let Me" and it is released by danish label E.S.P.Recordings/Kick Music (www.kick.dk/defectors).    Source
