about

"Get this: now that they've done it twice, here's a strong claim that "Demons" (yes, the quotation marks around their name is theirs, not ours), despite their relative obscurity, are the best of this geared-up Gearhead Swede triumvirate."
STEREO-TYPE

"The Hives can have the garage. "Demons" will be waiting in the alley with their axes, and they know how to use them."
ALTERNATIVE PRESS

"This release is aural morphine, completely addictive and hard to take out of the CD player. And for the folks out there who think rock and roll is dead - this album is living proof that it's alive and well."
UTTER TRASH

"There's enough guitar slides and sweat on this disc to melt the wicked witch of indie rock."
UWSA STYLUS MAGAZINE

"Like American Graffiti on speed, Stockholm Slump aims to leave its mark by catapulting the listener down the track as it raises the pressure on songs like "Hot Runnin' Blood", then downshifts a bit on "Come A Day", finally kicking into overdrive on "We Ain't Going Nowhere". Overall this Blasters inspired collection of nitro-fueled tunes should please those indiephiles looking for the next great garage rock fix."
NO COVER MAG

"Yes, kids, American rock is back, it's just being sodomized by the Swedes right now…and often to glorious results…"
KNAC

"Stockholm's Demons play rock and roll like it NEVER went out of style. They're loud...they're energetic... and they belt out rock with an intensity that'll have your frilly panties blown off in no time FLAT. The tunes on Stockholm Slump are big ol' hairy bastard rockers that'll put hair on your neck and slap you into the field of REALITY. No sissy fluff here... these four guys are the REAL THING."
BABYSUE

"Stockholm Slump is a good indication of why rock dives all over Europe are charging extra at the door if the band playing is from Sweden."
WEEKLY DIG

"Where do "Demons" rank? Well, I happen to think that they are a whole lot better than most of the Scandinavian bands getting all this big-time press. I mean, they just rock a little harder. They look cool, they got "the tude", and they go nuts live."
AMP ONLINE

"Sweden hasn't made this much noise since it took on Peter the Great."
DISCOVERIES

"One important page the Demons keep from their peers' playbook is an affinity for huge rusty hooks that swagger along with singer/guitarist Mathias Carlsson's winning snarl. The sizzling guitar of "Gang Green Eyes" could make the most earnest neo-mod ditch his suit for a tin of pomade."
CMG

"But then, you start to get swept away by the grinding guitars of "Degeneration Hotel" (with Carlsson's fun stuttering chorus) and some surprises along the way, like the Grandmaster-Flash-quoting "Come A Day" and the surprisingly rustic twang of "Sparkle".
RENO GAZETTE-JOURNAL

"These greasy Swedes are poised to take off."
PULSE, West Sacramento

"Their attack is simplistic in its ferocity and brilliant in its brutality."
SPLENDID

"Get ready to be blown away!"
IMPACT PRESS

"There are no gimmicks or bullshit with "Demons", just pure rock & roll wallop. Long may they snarl."
HIGH BIAS

"And this is certainly not to say such badass, high-energy sounds are easy to come by. No! This style of music requires a certain amount of intensity and sincerity - two qualities The Demons have plenty of."
NEUMU

The follow up album was as focused as a snipers eye on his target. Now one of the albums cited as one of the foremost within the era it represents. Right up there with the classics. It is also said to be one of the top albums Gearhead ever released.

"DEMONS" Stockholm, Sweden

For a quarter of a century the Swedish high energy rock outfit "DEMONS" have graced the underground rock and indie scenes.
