Background

Demo-litions features demos recorded by Crash Test Dummies between 1996-97. During this time, the band was trying to record a follow-up to A Worm's Life. Because that album didn't match the success of God Shuffled His Feet, the band's label BMG was much more restrictive towards the band and rejected 35 songs recorded during this time before finally settling on the album that would become Give Yourself a Hand.
