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]

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.
