Sanchez is driven by demons is the love child of Emil Johansson and Jonas Ottosson. The idea of a band had existed in their minds for a long time and in late 2001 they finally took the step by playing some songs together. They gathered some friends and a brother and a month later they recorded their first red ep on a minidisc in one of their friend’s basement and then released it on their own record label redstarcommunity.

From there it has been a strange trip over different music styles with three full length records and two eps, all with roots in some sort of love for instrumental music with bands like Labradford, Slint and Mogwai as role models. Influences don’t stop there though, bands like Fugazi, Arab Strap and Les Savy Fav (the list just keeps on going and growing) and also local bands like Dialog Cet, Log Cabin and Seamonster have all been big parts in the Sanchez is driven by demons’ sound. The sound has been described as everything between cold, dark, and clinical to warm, sparkling, and beautiful. The least common denominator, also according to the band themselves, might be recorded emotions—because, even if it sounds pretentious, it captures something universal about us, a longing to feel. And, even if some people see hope where some people see hopelessness, a very few get unaffected by it and a lot finds it immensely addictive.

Main members include Emil Johansson, Erik Larsson, Jonas Ottosson, Mattias Bärebring, and Viktor Ottosson along with an array of guests. All members hail from Jönköping, Göteborg, and Uppsala, Sweden.
