Leaked Demos 2006 (sometimes referred to by fans as Fight Off Your Demons[1][2][3]) is a collection of previously unreleased recordings by American rock band Brand New. The recordings originally leaked on January 24, 2006 before eventually being officially released on cassette tape nearly ten years later on December 2, 2015.[2][4] On January 12, 2016, the songs were made available as a pay what you want digital download.[5]

Upon their initial leak in 2006, the tracks were untitled, leading them to be simply referred to by their track listing number. Over the following year, four of the tracks were released, "Yeah (Sowing Season)" and "Luca" were reworked and rerecorded for The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, "Fork and Knife" was rerecorded and reworked as a standalone single whilst "Brother's Song" was released as a B-side entitled "Brothers" and also reworked into another B-side entitled "aloC-acoC". Over the years, official titles were gradually revealed via setlists for the remaining tracks, before the final track listing was announced in 2015.[2]
