Music like Demon's Claws

The Demon's Claws are a Canadian garage rock band from Montreal. They are known for blending a trashy 1960s punk sound with raw folk and country melodies. The band is signed to In the Red Records.

The Demon's Claws emerged from Montreal's thriving punk underground, playing a gritty mixture of folk-rock, country, and blues. According to AllMusic writer Mark Deming, the band has been compared to the Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things, as well as punk-blues pioneers The Gun Club.

The Demon's Claws was founded in 2003 by Jeff Clarke (aka Lester Del Ray and Rudy Stanko), a former member of The Cut Offs and The Normals. The band was named after a sharply turned piece of track that came with a toy racing car set Clarke owned as a child. Also featuring Pat Meteor on guitar, Ysael Pepin (aka Le Lutin) on bass, and Serge Gendron (aka Skip Jensen) on drums, the Demon's Claws released their first single in 2005 for the German P. Trash label, with a self-titled full-length album appearing on the same imprint later that year.
