FEATURED BAND: Be Your Own Pet

A rocking little band from Nashville, Tennessee! They have released their debut, self-titled album which is short, fast and loud!! They describe their sound as "a kick in the ass" and that is the truth. The band consists of Jemima Pearl (vocals), Jamin Orrall (drums), Nathan Vasquez (bass) and Jonas Stein (guitar). What rock-star names!!!!! Right?

They're currently touring in the States, and their label's XL Recordings/Ecstatic Peace Records.

It's hard to describe their sound, but here's some adjectives: fun, crazy, exciting, harsh, rude, yelly, rad, thrashy, garagey, banging, big drums, makes-you-wanna-dance, young.

They're similar to Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Grates and Young and Restless.

Eleanor's recommended songs: Bunk Trunk Skunk, Wildcat!, Girls On TV, Adventure
