Virginia Beach's Demons have signed with Spartan Records for the release of their debut EP, Great Dismal, which is due out June 16. The six-track effort is available for pre-order now.
Demons are headed by longtime Mae guitarist Zach Gehring. “Over the years it's just been a nagging desire. I'd dismiss it for periods of time, but then it would come back to me,” he says in regards to the band as a whole. “I wanted to see if I could do it. I knew I had ideas and a desire to give some sort of voice to them, also, and most crucially, they were not ideas that could be developed in Mae. I wanted to do something harder, less crafted, something more abrasive. Conceptually, or lyrically, I was more interested in problematizing myself and throwing tacks on the road, so to speak.”
