Później utworzyli oni również F-Beat Records, która wydała singel "I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down" formacji Elvis Costello And The Attractions. Początkowo firma Demon miała wydawać pojedyncze single. Wśród zespołów, które nagrywały dla Demon, znalazły się formacje Subterraneans (występował w niej dziennikarz pisma "New Musical Express" Nick Kent), The Spectres (założona przez byłego basistę Sex Pistols Glena Matlocka), TV21 i Department S. Dzięki tej ostatniej grupie wytwórnia wprowadziła pierwszą swoją produkcję na listy przebojów - a był to utwór "Is Vic There?" z 1981.
Kolejny sukces przyniósł debiutancki singel Bananaramy "Aie-A-Mwana" (choć jego dystrybucją zajęła się potem firma Phonogram Records). Wkrótce firma porzuciła politykę wydawania tylko singli, mając nadzieję na zaangażowanie wykonawców, którzy mogliby z nią współpracować na dłuższą metę.
W 1981r do Island Records odszedł Lauder. W tym samym czasie Demon uruchomił filię - Edsel Records - mającą się zajmować wydawaniem nagrań archiwalnych. Pierwszymi płytami wydanymi przez Edsel były nagrania pionierów nurtu mod, grupy The Action (z notatką Paula Wellera na okładce), zespołu The Escorts oraz Screamin' Jaya Hawkinsa. Odwagi wymagało ponowne wydanie nagrań Moby Grape, The Byrds i Gene'a Clarke'a w okresie, gdy wyszli już oni z mody (firma kontynowała tę politykę w latach 90-tych wydając Spooky Tooth i Ronniego Lane'a).
Firma-matka Demon także weszła na rynek "odgrzewanych" nagrań, który rozkwitł w połowie lat 90-tych. W 1982 Lauder powrócił do firmy, która się rozwijała - powstały kolejne filie, takie jak specjalizująca się w muzyce soul Hi (Ann Peebles, Willie Mitchell, Al Green) i zorientowana na psychodelię Drop Out.
Demon zaczął być identyfikowany z importowanym amerykańskim rockiem z kręgu "roots", zwłaszcza z tzw. sceną "Paisley Underground" (Green On Red, Long Ryders, Giant Sand, Beat Farmers i Replacements). Wśród brytyjskich wykonawców na liście płac wytwórni znalazły się zespoły The Men They Couldn't Hang, Shamen, Paul Brady, That Petrol Emotion i Christy Moore. Wszyscy ci wykonawcy traktowali Demon jako etap na drodze do uzyskania kontraktu z większymi wytwórniami. Lauder odszedł ostatecznie z firmy w 1988r, by założyć wytwórnie Silverstone i This Way Up, a Demon zaczął się koncentrować coraz wyraźniej na rynku wznowień.
Obecnie firma wydaje nagrania takich artystów, jak Lowe, Martin Stephenson, Clive Gregson i Kate Campbell. Swoją dobrą reputację zawdzięcza wytwórnia w dużej mierze autentycznemu i niewyczerpanemu entuzjazmowi dyrektora prasowego Alana Robinsona. Firma pozostaje jedną z "marzycielskich" wytwórni niezależnych, które w oczywisty sposób kochają muzykę i ją hołubią.
