Sweden’s “DEMONS” are one of the architects of the Scandi Rock sound and are contemporaries with The Hellacopters, Turbonegro, Gluecifer and the rest. “DEMONS” actually had an album ready as early as 1995 (before Ass Cobra and Supershitty to the Max) but no one wanted to release it. They had to wait until 1997 to unleash their first single Electrocute (later covered by The Hellacopters on their last album Head Off) and their 1998 Thomas Skogsberg produced debut mini album “Demons” Come Bursting Out! The band was contracted to Gearhead Records between 1999 and 2004 and released three full length albums for them. The label constructed a new genre for the band, punk ‘n’ roll, which is widely used these days. After Gearhead they turned down several larger labels and one big time producer in favor of managing themselves and designing, producing and putting out their own records (as well as collaborating with other independent labels). Despite the band’s efforts, hard work and pushing Scandinavian rock overseas they have remained underground and even obscure in their home country. However, there is no question of their importance to the late ’90s early 2000s punk and garage scenes. Unlike so many of their peers “DEMONS” never quit playing.
