Deportees are a prominent Swedish indie band known for their distinctive fusion of pop, rock, andfolk elements. The group formed in 2003 in Vindeln, a small town in Northern Sweden, and consists of brothers Peder Stenberg (vocals) and Anders Stenberg (guitar), alongside childhood friend Mattias Lidström (keyboard). They quickly made waves in the Swedish music scene with a sound that is both anthemic and introspective, filled with lush arrangements and heartfelt lyrics.

Over the years, Deportees have built a considerable following with their evocative music, often characterized by themes of love, loss, and the human condition. Their album "Islands & Shores," released in 2011, cemented their status as one of Sweden's most captivating musical exports. The band's more recent works, such as "People Are a Foreign Country (Deluxe)" and the EP "Re-dreaming," continue to showcase their evolution as artists, offering a rich, sonic tapestry that blends the familiar with the exploratory. Noteworthy tracks like "Time Is The Tiger" and its Academics Remix, "Run for That Feeling," and "Lost You For a While," demonstrate the group's ability to reinvent and challenge their sound while staying true to their emotional core, earning them both critical acclaim and a loyal fan base.
