demons is a punk rock/garage punk band from sweden .
the band includes quotation marks in their name to differentiate themselves from other bands with a similar name .
their music has been described as `` punk 'n' roll '' , but the band claims it should only be described as high-energy rock .
their musical style relies heavily on the energy derived from punk rock .
influences include 1960s garage rock bands such as the sonics , the standells and shadows of knight , the velvet underground , the stooges and new york dolls ; and punk rock bands such as the damned , the heartbreakers and the saints ; and early hardcore punk bands such as black flag , bad brains and dead kennedys .
`` demons '' has often been compared to contemporary groups like new bomb turks , the hellacopters and electric frankenstein .
the band established themselves in the mid-1990s swedish punk/garage rock scene with releases such as `` electrocute '' and '' `` demons '' ... come bursting out ! '' .
`` demons '' initially gained more popularity in the united states than in their homeland , and thus much of their music has been released on american record labels , most notably gearhead records based in oakland , california .
they have completed several us and european tours , including two appearances at sxsw .
