Dukes of Windsor are an Australian Electro/Rock group formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2004.

Extra production, mixing and mastering were provided by hardcore producers Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstrom (Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come, Poison the Well, Hell is for Heroes) from Tonteknik Studios in Umea, Sweden.
