"One of Sweden's best kept secrets is "Demons", a band that has served to cement the pillars of Swedish rock."
Dirty Rock
"Relive in throbbing, real-life super-stereo. Effortlessly rocking, endlessly satisfying."

Classic Rock
"This album takes everything this band has to give and wraps it up in one unholy package of musical explosions, songs that maybe old, but what a new life they have been given here. Re-recorded in glorious technicolour and given a breath of fresh northern air, we the listeners are the winners here, this is not any old best of album (although technically that’s exactly what it is), this is a triumph of thought and commitment to giving us all the music we love, but in a whole new package."
If you have never had the pleasure of "Demons", then lets just say this best of/reinvented best of album is something you will hear and then realize your life was never until now, as musically complete as you thought it was!"

Mark Cartwright - The Punk Site
"From the spoken word intro of ‘Riot Salvation’ you know you are in for one hell of a ride. Powered by post-pandemic energy and some Riff-a-Rama this is a fuckin’ beast to clean the pallet of 2022 and ready us for what’s to come. What a belter of an idea this was to be fair and playing it through is the payoff.
What is it they say about 20/20 vision and hindsight? Who knows? What I know is this is a winner all the way from A – Z its all killer and no filler and if you glance over this without opening the hood for a look then more fool you because this is most excellent and a no-brainer".
Dom Daley - RPM Online
“Demons” lives somewhere between the love juices of MC5, The Stooges, The New York Dolls, The Cramps and The Gun Club and the more jolly Swedish tradition of shout-along punk. It’s bloody catchy but with the energy and attitude of hardcore punk. The music also has garage rock vibes not too far from fellow Swedish bands such as The Nomads, The Leather Nun and Cortex."
Roppongi Rocks
"Anyone who doesn't know the originals will get a good overview of the band's creative work here, which was completely wrongly always in the second or third row behind top dogs like the HELLACOPTERS or other Swedish action rock bands of the nineties."
This is the new 25-year anniversary record by "DEMONS" with guests like Mario Escovedo (The Dragons), Ken Mochikoshi-Horne (The Dragons/The Bronx), Vanja Lo Renberg (The Vanjas), Odd Ahlgren (The Robots, A-Bombs, Matching Numbers), The Hip Priests, The Boatsmen and more.

For a quarter of a century the Swedish high energy rock outfit "DEMONS" have graced the underground rock and indie scenes.
To use a quote from a writer: "DEMONS" are the most known, unknown band in Sweden" or another: "DEMONS" are, at least, the mortar that helped build the Swedish rock scene, going back the last 20 years. They're Sweden's dirty little secret"....more
