Australian indie rock band Dukes of Windsor, formed in late 2004 in Melbourne. The group consisted of Cory Blight on drums, Jack Weaving on vocals, Oscar Dawson on guitar, Joe Franklin on bass guitar, and Scott Targett on keyboards. Their debut release was the six-track extended play Foxhunt in August 2005, produced by Swedish duo Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lövström. The band's first studio album, The Others, was issued in September 2006, featuring the title track as the lead single. In support of the album, Dukes of Windsor toured Australia and were showcased as a Next Crop Artist by national youth broadcaster Triple J. Their song "The Others" was remixed by Australian electronic music duo TV Rock, reaching number 10 on the ARIA singles chart and Number 1 on both Australia's ARIA Dance and Club Tracks charts. The remix was certified Gold in Australia and received an ARIA Award nomination for Best Dance Release in 2007. In late 2008, their second album Minus was released through Island Records, featuring the singles "It's a War", "Get It" (both 2008), and "Runaway" (2009). The band relocated to Berlin in December 2009 to continue writing their third full-length album but disbanded the following year.
