History

Defrage uploadwikimediaorgwikipediacommons009Defrag

Defrage started to have their first band rehearsals in early 2007 when Kari (rhythm guitarist) got a response from Mikk (solo guitarist) to his advertisement on the website metal.ee "looking for a band members for an american style rock band". Soon after that Daniel (in early years bass guitar) and Sten (drums) joined for rehearsals which mainly took place in an old garage that belonged to Mikk's father. In the beginning the band just played and practiced together without any singer whom Kari looked for at the same time.

The band filmed a video for "Hotel Breakers" and released their album Jackal in January 2012.
