Motorik Beats and Mundane Magic: Exploring Begging Dog’s Raw Indie-Punk DEMO 1
Photo by Kat NijmeddinJeff 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.
