Full review

Be Your Own PET hail from Nashville, America, a place not really synonymous with producing good punk rock music… until now. The band consists of Jemina Pearl, Jonas Stein, Nathan Varquez and Jamin Orall, a group of 18-19 year olds writing about destruction ('Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle'), robbing banks ('October, First Account'), disagreements with boyfriends that end in murder ('Bog'), and you know, the dead taking over the earth ('Ouch').

The whole album rarely changes pace and the band manage to churn out 15 songs in the space of 33 minutes, (the longest track, 'Ouch' is just over three minutes long.) By the end of the album you feel absolutely exhausted, and even after listening to it another six times the effect is still there! However, even though you become used to the fast songs, the band surprise you by putting in slower tracks such as 'October, First Account' and 'Ouch', which let you have a rest before they speed up the pace again.

Front woman Jemina Pearl may look like the traditional cute, blonde, all American girl, but this view of her completely changes when she starts singing. Jemina screams out the lyrics as if her life depended on it, and as shown in the opening lyrics to 'Bunk Trunk Skunk' ('I'm an independent mother****** and I'm here to take your money'), it's most definitely not all sweet and innocent. However, if this hasn't completely changed your view, take a listen to 'Bog' ('I want a kitty cat my boyfriend wants a dog, we got into a fight, I drowned him in the bog').

I know that in reviews of albums the phrase 'This is like nothing you'll have ever heard before', tends to be overused. However, with this album, I mean it in all sincerity. It's refreshing to have a band that isn't trying to emulate any particular style. Be Your Own PET, are instead just being themselves, four teenagers who want to make punk music, and just generally have fun.

Finally, this album is not going to be to everyone's taste, and for some it may take a while to get used to the style. However, if you are a fan of punk rock music, I'd strongly advise that you give it a listen.

Track listing:
1. Threshers Flail
2. Bunk Trunk Skunk
3. Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle
4. Wildcat!
5. Adventure
6. Fuuuuun
7. Stairway to Heaven
8. Bog

10. We will vacation, you can be my parasol
11. Lets Get Sandy (Big Problem)
12. October, First Account
13. Love your shotgun
14. Fill my pill
15. Ouch

Review of Be Your Own Pet [Digipak] - Be Your Own Pet by bebop12

Advantages: Brilliant Album
Disadvantages: Could Leave you with a headache

This album by Be Your Own Pet is a piece of raw, punk rock brilliance. its frantic and angry from start to finish, and full of energy. As always Jemina Pearls vocal performance is dramatic and highly entertaining, along with the heavy riff driven guitars and hectic drums, all this combined makes for an interesting sound. i'd say the song that sticks out for me the most is "Fuuuuun" it just caputures what this band is all about in one little snippet ...

...We Will Vacation You Can Be My Parasol just like the other tracks 11. Let's Get Sandy (Big Problem) a quick 58 second track with humorous lyrics 12. October First Account a slower tempo than the other songs but fit s in perfectly 13. Love Your Shotgun garage rock 14. Fill My Pill garage rock 15. Ouch garage rock Okay you get the general idea of the album (garage punk rock meets indie) Be your own pet was formed in 2002 at the Nashville school ...
...never outgunned album)and you get Be Your Own Pet This album really is like a mix of punk rock and indie, at this point id really recommend this cd, I did not think I would enjoy this but im wrong im really enjoying this... If your feeling a bit sceptical about this album at this point listen to it first before buying, music shops have ways for you to preview music, so do music shops online, just listen to a few snippets of tracks, you will be surprised, ...

Additional notes

Album Notes: Debut album from Nashville punk band of tender years, who were snapped up by ultra-hip UK indie XL after their incendiary performances at SXSW 2005. Their sound, a raucous, untutored blast of garage punk with angular guitar riffs and off-kilter rhythms, topped with Abegg's caterwauling vocals, has seen them compared to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The album includes the singles 'Adventure' and the 59-second long 'Let's Get Sandy'.
