Release Notes:
It is the fiery combination of the blood of teenage
boys, the spit of running bulls and a brave
heralding of the post-sexy musical age that makes
it click. No two songs are alike and each part of
this trio has a distinctive voice in the collective
melee. From the bam-ba-lam in the back to the heady
attack along the front line it is a unique
combination of amped-up purposeful energy and
stalking melodies.
What other people say:
"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, May 2005
Comparisons to Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders have
been thrown about, but Demander walks more of a
knife's
edge. Stylistically, the band has a strong,
stripped-down blues-punk sound that is more
accurately comparable to The
Pretenders or PJ Harvey. Karen CorrΩa 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. - Free Williamsburg,
November 2005
Lead singer Karen Kanan Correa is reminiscent in
stage presence and timbre of Karen O. Correa's a
bit less twitchy live, perhaps because she's got a
bass slung around her neck. Where the YYYs have the
geek-chic of Brian Chase behind the drum set,
Demander has Sivan Harlap, a hard rockin' girl. In
guitarist Jared Scott, Demander has a solid back up
to Correa, just as the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner
compliments Karen O. - Spin.com, June 2005
Plump, bristling prog-punk bass lines over
in-your-face tribal drums and lovely alterna-pop
vocals. - Guitar World's Bass Guitar Magazine,
July/August
