Directors was created as a band in 2001 in Estonia by singer Lauri Tõnspoeg and bassist Danel Vassilenko (Pandre). They felt that Estonia needed a hard rock group with some grunge influece, as it still had just disco music playing in most radiostations at that time. The name came from the fact that three of the memebers were active in different businesses and on high ranking positions. Lauri and Danel invited Silver Suu (guitar) and Kristjan Mäeots (Drums) to join them and the whole band lasted for few years
