It's music with sick beats, high energy, attitude, affection, and promise. Think of that feeling when you find $20 in your pocket, that's what Demander is.

THE UNKINDNESS OF RAVENS

This is our first full-length album, recorded at Headgear Studios in Brooklyn with the inimitable production team of Mike Skinner (Kevin Devine, Miracle of '86, Black Moustache)and Dan Long.

We wanted this album to give PASSION, JOY, THE BLUES {when they make you better}, LUST, LOVE, LOVELUST, TRUST and a GOOD OLD BARFIGHT against doubt and lies on a grand scale.

Our inspiration comes from revolution, the good fight, lovers, muso-diversity and everyone we know.

Love love love DEMANDER

Karen delivers "...foreboding words in pretty melodies against an aggressive backdrop of Sivan Harlap's drums and Jared P. Scott's relentless riffs but, like her band mates, she appears to be locked in a deep state of joy when performing these tunes." {Ah-men} - Boston Metro, May 2007

SPIN.com's Band of the Year {2006) semi-finalist

Sivan Harlap and Karen Correa form the relentless rhythmic backbone of Demander, which seems to get better each time we see it. The dynamic outfit dazzles with angular off-time rock songs in the vein of Sleater-Kinney, which are publicly poppy but secretly proggy. - Time Out New York

Stylistically, the band has a strong, stripped-down blues-punk sound that is more accurately comparable to The Pretenders or PJ Harvey. Karen Corrêa proudly prefers to play the bass guitar's lowest notes and her vocals are equally as rich and robust. It's a perfect match for Sivan Harlap's rhythmic thunder and it's this pair's ongoing tug of war for dominance that makes the group's simple guitar, bass, and drums lineup so interesting. - FreeWilliamsburg
