Dogs Run Free deliver idiosyncratic alt dance punk on debut album Heart Beat Temper out through Fever Ltd.

Cleveland, Ohio’s Dogs Run Free are giving you a punk feel with dance ready beats and undeniable melody on their debut album Heart Beat Temper, out today through Fever Ltd. Originally emerging in 2022, the band have cultivated their sound across nine tracks that clamor with aspirations for more out of life. Self-recorded with mixing by Adam Cichocki and mastering by Eric Lagg, the album rides off Dogs Run Free’s genre-blending sound filled with angular guitars, infectious hooks, and an off-kilter sense of melody. Taking after acts like Japandroids and Death From Above 1979, the duo behind Dogs Run Free - Austyn Benyak (Vocals, Drums, Bass, Guitar) and Zac Breitbach (Vocals, Guitar, Bass) - are unleashing idiosyncratic alternative rock with edge and purpose.
