The Demise are a 4-piece Irish punk rock band from Limerick City, Ireland and are also the founding members of the mangaboy¦records music collective in Limerick City. They have been playing shows and recording music since 2004. For most of the time they have been around they were a 3-piece with just Mike, Fabian and Kieran in the band after Greg left. But then decided to get another guitarist which ended up being James. They have played all over Ireland and also in Germany and have supported bands like Capdown, The Supersuckers and Gang Green.

In 2006 they entered the Coca-Cola Blastbeat National Competition of over 400 bands and reached the finals.
