The Roxx Regime Demos is the eleventh release and third compilation album[1][2] by Stryper consisting of songs originally released under the band's previous name, Roxx Regime,[3][1][4] except for the track "Honestly", which is taken from a later demo. While the album's general release was on July 10, 2007, pre-sale purchases at Stryper.com shipped on July 7, 2007, a reference to 777,[5] a number that used to appear onstage at Stryper concerts.[citation needed]

Greg Prato of Allmusic said, "you hear a band that had pretty much found their sound early on".[1] He compared the band favorably to other pop-metal bands of the time, but said the album was "aimed at die-hard die-hard Stryper fans".[1] Ken Pierce of Piercing Metal said the songs "rock quite well and are a fun listen", but also stated that the release was for die-hard fans.[8]
