Be Your Own Pet

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Blasting out of Nashville, TN, like a bottle rocket, the teenage garage-noise-pop band Be Your Own Pet makes music that's as frenzied as it is catchy. The band formed in 2003 out of the ashes of Night Shift Nurses, which was the project of drummer Jamin Orrall and his bassist brother Jeff. The pair practiced in their basement and also ran the label Infinity Cat; and eventually joined forces with guitarist Jonas Stein -- who was in another band on the label, Jimmy Cushman?, at the time -- and singer Jemina Pearl, a friend from Nashville School of the ...[more]

Nashville-based Be Your Own Pet's punk rockin', expletive-spewing kid wonders just graduated from their sophomore year of high school, and no member of BYOP is over 17. Bleach-blonde lead singer Jemina Pearl fends off the Debbie Harry comparisons with a stick; and guitarist Jonas Stein bashes out the chords like he's amping a crowd at CBGBs circa 1977.

be your own PET are 4 teenagers from Nashville, Tennessee, and we're very pleased to be releasing their debut single, Damn Damn Leash through XL. Jemina, Jamin, Jonas and Nathan caused a sensation at last year's CMJ Festival in New York and as a result made it into the New York Times. From there, it was a short step to Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 and John Kennedy on Xfm. Both have been playing their two minute masterpiece almost weekly since then.
