Lead by singer/songwriter/guitarist/madman Russ Wright, the Demonics established themselves in 1996 with the release of their first single, "Super Bee," a punk 'n' surf song that also hailed to the likes of the Stooges and the Ramones. By 1997, after a number of gigs throughout their native California, Man's Ruin Records eventually put out the Demonics' second single, "R.I.P. S.T.P." Their first full-length, Formaldehyde Injection, was also released on Man's Ruin the following year; Demons on Wheels appeared in mid-2000. ~ Mike DaRonco
