The Demon's Claws are one of the many bands to emerge from Montreal's thriving garage punk underground, playing a gritty mixture of folk-rock, country, and blues that's won them comparisons to the Rolling Stones and the Pretty Things, as well as punk-blues pioneers the Gun Club. They released their first single in 2005, with a self-titled full-length album appearing later that year. The band toured Canada frequently and made occasional trips to the U.S., where they opened for the Black Lips. Their second full-length album, Satan's Little Pet Pig, was released in 2007, while The Defrosting Of appeared in 2010. ~ Mark Deming
