3.5 greatTom R. EMERITUS | July 31st 20

Be Your Own Pet's debut is generic, sloppy, and doesn't seem to understand what dynamics are. But I'll
be damned if it isn't also as energetic and fun as pseudo-post-punk gets. They keep it short, sweet
and a little psycho, despite the shortcomings in their songwriting department and unremarkable
vocalist standing in the way that have and would sink others in the same boat. If this was any longer
it would be annoying yes, but at just over half an hour the duration keeps this blissfully tight and
concise. Not amazing by any means, but it's constant extroversion suits the occasional listen.

67/100
Highlights: Bicycle Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle, Girls on TV, Love Your Shotgun

We're on two wheels baby! Rawk Out!!
At least that's what Be Your Own Pet would hope(demand) of us. And with this clusterfuck of sound that is their debut, BYOP find a nice niche for themselves. It's just a question of if you appreciate that niche or not. Armed with a young punk spirit, bad ass instrumentation, a long play into a tongue-in-cheek and, well, Ms. Jemina Pearl, these kid's are looking to knock you onto your ass. Let it be their extremely loud sound, or Pearl's extremely dirty mouth, BYOP are out to attract a little attention, as well they should. They've got some shit to say (albeit sometimes it can be a bit stupid...) -- but maybe it won't hurt to listen just a little. I mean lines like 'Have fun and be safe with it -- Just kidding! Fuck shit up!' probably couldn't fly if BYOP saw themselves as god's next gift to rock and roll. A little pulp here and there is alright, which exactly what BYOP are all about. Stop taking yourself so seriously, chill the fuck out, and enjoy being young/allow the youth to have their fun. Simple.
