Defryme are an Australian band from Melbourne, Victoria. They formed in 1989 in the Melbourne suburb of Frankston.[2] Their album Purekiller reached #4 on the Australian ARIA album charts in June 1994.[3] They had four charting singles in Australia, "God Inside A Man" (#51[4]), "Pure Killer" (#70), their cover of L.L. Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out" (#38), and "Sanity" (#70). Defryme reformed in 2010 with the release of the single 'Sup?' and a handful of shows. Defryme re-emerged in 2014 with a string of live shows in Melbourne and Sydney performing the classic "Purekiller" album in entirety and released another single "Audrey". Defryme also recorded a number of songs for "Guitar Gods LIVE @ Pony Music" - a series of Live in the Studio videos filmed for Guitar Gods and Masterpieces TV show. Enter the end of 2021 which sees a re-birth of DEFRYME with a couple of new members and a re-energised passion for performance. Signed to GOLDEN ROBOT RECORDS with first single release "The Snake" and the return to live performances.
