empty cell Begging Dog
Begging Dog is the indie punk project of Los Angeles-based artist Jeff Kleinman. As a member of the band Choir Boy, Kleinman embraces a raw, homespun sound in this project, with nods to garage punk and plain language lyricism. The debut album "DEMO 1," released on December 12, 2025, by Dais Records, features 10 tracks with rolling bass and synth lines, charismatic riffs, and motorik drum beats. The song lyrics depict various everyday characters and scenes, such as a pushy union rep, a mailman with a steady federal job, a compulsive gambler, and a beloved neighborhood homeless man. Kleinman cites Bruce Springsteen as an inspiration for his direct and simple songwriting style.
