...according to our Brian on 28 February 2008.

My single of the week would just have to be 'Super Soaked' by the increasingly unhinged Be Your Own Pet. Kind of cynically overlooked by many a couple of years ago due to a bit of a junior Yeah Yeah Yeahs vibe emanating from this quartet, the stage is now, however, set for them to destroy 2008. It's an adrenalised, amped up punk racket business that motors into your head like an unholy cross between Blondie & Boss Hog on steroids. Yes, if you thought the debut LP was a bit of a saucy revved-up beast of juvenile-core then these new babies are gonna pin you to the wall! The flip 'Blow yr Mind' is a flat out grinding speed punk squall that pips 'Let's get Sandy' for supersonic mosh-tasticness. Fuckin' A is the words what is required 'ere mefinks. This is 1 of 4 limited 7"s (Jemima's on this baby) to be released in the next two weeks so..ahem...collect them all! Wowsers!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Heralding their return and preceding the release of their highly anticipated new album ‘Get Awkward’, Be Your Own Pet present four limited edition 7” vinyl singles.

It’s been nearly three years since Nashville teen-punks Be Your Own Pet burst on to the UK music scene in a whirlwind of hype and critical acclaim.       The first chance then that the pubic will get to hear songs from the new album comes in the form of four, limited edition 7” vinyl singles, two each being released on consecutive weeks in the lead-up to the album.    The artwork for each 7” will feature a different member of the band on and each 7” is limited to 1500 copies only.
It’s refreshing to see the band haven’t mellowed in the time they’ve been away – each of the four a-sides present here are still short, sharp and often vicious in their delivery.
