Jeff Kleinman, known for his work in Choir Boy, has stepped out with his new indie punk project, Begging Dog. Today, Dais Records gives the underground hit DEMO 1 a wide vinyl release. The record is a 26-minute journey through raw, homespun sounds, featuring rolling synth lines and motorik beats. Influenced by Bruce Springsteen’s direct lyricism, Kleinman trades flowery prose for lived-in observations of gamblers, mailmen, and union reps. It is a refreshingly unpretentious collection of songs that finds the beauty in the mundane through the lens of classic punk rock storytelling.

Begging Dog delivers a relatable and honest reflection on community, heartbreak, and addiction with his latest single, “Common Place.” The track is an introspective look back at five thrilling yet difficult years in Salt Lake City, a turning point marked by art, love, witnessing a suicide, and “drinking far too much.” Through this punk-inspired songwriting, Kleinman crafts a humbling thank you to the community he left behind, proving that missing something more than you expected can be the deepest learning experience.

Los Angeles-based artist Jeff Kleinman, known from Choir Boy, introduces his raw indie punk project Begging Dog with DEMO 1, now reissued on vinyl by Dais Records. Recorded entirely solo, the release blends garage punk grit with synth-laced, bass-driven melodies, proving Kleinman’s knack for heartfelt minimalism. His storytelling hits hard, honest, unpretentious, and drenched in suburban melancholy. “No one loves a begging dog,” he laments, yet the record embraces solitude as something strangely beautiful. For fans of authentic, homespun punk, DEMO 1 is a lo-fi gem that turns quiet desperation into melodic defiance.
