About us:
self-titled demo records is a label co-runned by musicians for musicians. It's hard to keep it stricktly political label and be focused on only punk rock music, but it is still imporatant that we share the ideas that bands are spreading. We release music that we like for ourselves and the bands that share some general ideas as independance of art and general liberty ideology that for some reasons are being called anarchism, but we'd prefer to call it liberty, community and humanity. Althrough we re located in Moscow, Russia we would be please to co-act with any collactive outside of Russia as well as our domestic bands.
the main purpose of running the label is to help underground bands keep their idealism by helping them anyhow we can in resolving all variety of questions involved in recording, artworking and releasing their records independently.
PLEASE CONTACT US VIA demo_records@mail.ru

OUT NOW!
Co-Release with PROXIMA RECORDS
This is political melodic hardcore band plays kind of music that we usually call here czech emo. When I met their singer Jumper last may in Hradec Kralove, CZ he passed me the cd to handle to Proxima Records. And after almost a year of heavy times for Proxima Records we have made this one out together and I am a bit pleased to announce it here. It could never happen without Denis of Proxima Records
|DEMO-004|AMANDA WOODWARD (France)
"LA DECADNACE DE LA DECADANCE+PLEINE DE GRACE" CD special russian tour re-release (France)
OUT NOW!
This is a special enchanced russian tour re-release of that classical french emo band's latest album "la decadance de la decadance" and their latest EP "pleine de grace" in one CD with a bit re-designed artwork.
We kept the quality and made it a way cheaper than european or american and 2 in 1. That is what band asked me to do.
(co-released w/ OSK RECORDS )
|DEMO-005| JUMBO JET (Russia)/ SLEEP TALKER (France) Split CD
OUT NOW!
Split of two amazing post rock collectives - one from Saint Petersbourg, Russia and a French one. I hope you'll like it. Both collective absolutely hypnotised me with thier live shows. Nice people - what was always important.
|DEMO-006| SANDINISTA!
s/t MCD (co-release w/ OSK RECORDS
)
OUT NOW!
This band was one of my favorite hardcore bands in Russia. They are from Saint-Petersbourg.
They played dark modern hardcore with very deep social and political lyrics.
I am sad to write about this band in the past tense, but we can do nothing about that tragedy that have broken this band. The band has ended its active and vivid period of life with the tragic death of Timur, but they will live forever in their music and hopefully this release will not be their last.
|DEMO-007| BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS CD (2007) OUT NOW!
This is experimental three piece band of ecologist, psychiatrist and a guitar master. This is a middle tempo experimental music, heavy darky rock n roll played by drumms, guitar, bass and a violin with the sense of soviet cartoon soundtracks meets russian horror movie. I can not say anything more. Sick shit.
At the moment the material is ready and we're working out the weird record sleeve to make it fit the music. It will come soonish in a beautiful digipak
|DEMO-008|MOENSTER (GER, PL, WORLD) "way too late" tour CD (2007) OUT NOW!
This is d-beat rock n roll that combines swedish crust, punk rock classic and a good old Polish punk touch all played the new modern way. Just follow the link above to taste the pie. 14 tracks of what ever band was and still up to. 11 -is a combination of early and previously released tracks and 3 unheard...yet!
Available on TOUR since 23 of March 2007!
10 tracks of danceable mix of rocking moody punk/melodic hardcore that is hard to discribe in terms of style and similar band names, we wanted to do something different with both rythms and lyrics and well we all will see if we managed to do this. Our friend Max Ionov did this record for us on our own Cur's Head home taping studio. We wanted to keep our sound to maximum represent the feeling of the live sound in the name of all the people who came to see us play live during these nearly two years.
OUT NOW!
This is italian most ill-driven screamo band I had a chance to meet lately. It happened on FLUFF that I hooked up with them through the Sons Of Vesta Records label, which they were representing there. They had the musical stuff in distro that I liked alot, so we've talked to each other several times and traded our stuff. I heard KHERE band before from the cd i bought in OSK distro in Moscow. So when they asked me if I would like to re-issue their 10" record that originally came as a cd on Sons Of Vesta. I said HELL YEAH!

The soundtrack for the wedding party of anger & gloom. Traktor from Sweden, which are not only highly considered in circles of connoisseurs because of their extraordinary live qualities, perfect their grim chaos-core on their first full length, entitled Lights. The typical Traktor sound from the early days with indigestive breaks and dissonant guitar riffs in the vein of famous San Diego bands like Drive Like Jehu or Swing Kids is getting enobled with dark & calm passages. Although the album was mastered in the much sought-after Tonteknik-Studio in Umeå, the regulary comparisons to Refused or early JR Ewing are less present, then genre bulks like Lack or Breach. Lights is an album designed for a cheerless winter, post-hardcore between aggression & depression
