The greatest pulp-punk album in human history! 

Demons & Dogmen is the debut full-length album from Brooklyn band Dalton Deschain & the Traveling Show. In addition to being available on streaming services everywhere, the physical version of the album will be packaged as a 260-page novel, written by Deschain himself, that expands on the story told in the concept album’s lyrics. 

The book and album tell the story of a Detroit musician in the 1940s who becomes possessed by a demon and takes over a local circus. When his plans turn deadly, it’s up to a gang of circus freaks, a failed actress, and a psychic janitor to stop him. In book form, it’s a gripping and gory tale in the tradition of paperback pulp horror novels from years past. In album form, it’s a nonstop punk rock freight train, barreling from one soaring melody and punchy drum beat to the next. 

Despite the scale of this ensemble story, the music remains accessible to the casual listener, focusing on high-energy, catchy tracks designed to get you singing along, while providing a deeper experience for those that choose to dive in.
