Be Your Own Pet Preps Sophomore Album
Be Your Own Pet

Katie Hasty, N.Y.
The members of Be Your Own Pet are just now breaching their 20s, but time has been good so far for the Nashville-based post-punk troupe. The quartet is preparing to release its sophomore set, "Get Awkward," March 18 via Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace imprint.
With help from Redd Kross' Steve McDonald and veteran mixer Joe Chiccarelli, the group produced the album at its own studio. According to guitarist Jonas Stein, the release is "more dynamic" compared to BYOP's 2006 self-titled debut.
"It was simple before when we first started writing music, but now this album has taken a darker turn," he says. "It's more aggressive is also puts all of our tastes together."
Notorious for their hyper-fast, miniature tracks, the group has instead tried to mix in much longer compositions, as well as "more slow and melodic poppy songs." Thematically, "Get Awkward" is packed full of movie references in the lyrics, sung by 20-year-old frontwoman Jemina Pearl.
The tracklisting for "Get Awkward":
"Super Soaked"
"Black Hole"
"Heart Throb"
"Becky"
"The Kelly Affair"
"Twisted Nerve"
"Blow Yr Mind"
"Bummer Time"
"Bitches Leave"
"You're A Waste"
"Food Fight!"
"Zombie Graveyard Party"
"What's Your Damage"
"Creepy Crawl"
"The Beast Within"
The band is currently in the midst of planning "200-plus" tour dates for 2008.

I made it on my old screename and lots of people posted when the first album came out but since byop have been quiet for about a year it went away. I DO, however, try to post links to newest videos, articles, and pictures as much as I can. With the upcoming album I'll definitely keep posting stuff. |
