Be Your Own Pet is a band of Nashville, Tennessee kids (still in high school) that knock out ragged and raucous 2-minute blasts of gar(b)age punk. It is their youthful exuberance and the childlike wailing of vocalist Jemina Abegg that makes this record so damn much fuuuuuun. Totally spastic yet somehow sweet, BYOP’s self-titled debut is a near-perfect balanced between their naive goofiness and and their lets-fuck-shit-up attitude. The album is out now on ultra-hip label XL Recordings. RIYL: Ari Ari, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, McClusky, Blood Bros.

To be honest, I think that “Adventure” song is pretty terrible. The lyrics are beyond asinine and the whole record grates on me after about two songs.
…jemina….so hott…….
