Deportees is a Grammis-nominated Swedish band from Vindeln and Umeå, formed in 2003, consisting of brothers Peder Stenberg (vocals) and Anders Stenberg (guitar), in addition to Thomas Hedlund (drums).
Deportees' debut single, "Arrest Me 'til It Hurts", contained pop, funk, and country influences.
The song generated considerable interest among the public and critics and was followed by the band's first full-length album, All Prayed Up, in 2004.
Deportees promoted the release by touring Sweden, the United States, the UK, and Ireland.
In 2006, for their second album, Damaged Goods, they cooperated with producers Pelle Gunnerfeldt and Björn Yttling.
