On their first album in 15 years, Nashville garage rockers Be Your Own Pet are as volatile as ever. Read our full review of Mommy here.
When Be Your Own Pet performed at Lollapalooza in 2006, the Nashville garage-punks played so hard that singer Jemina Pearl threw up midway through their noon-ish set. She was unfazed: After vomiting at the back of the stage, she looked cheerful as could be as she bounded up to the microphone to finish out the band’s half-hour rampage., Be Your Own Pet’s first new album in 15 years.
Indeed. The song is a fast-paced rocker about not wanting to be left at home while everyone else is out having fun, but these 11 tracks sound like Pearl is the one at the center of her scene. Sometimes she’s the hedonist letting loose, as on “Pleasure Seeker,” where a filthy guitar riff supports her voice on the verse before she gives it her klaxon-like best on the refrain.
Musically, Be Your Own Pet blast through songs with the same feral energy as ever. Nathan Vasquez’s propulsive basslines pair with Jon Eatherly’s thunderous drums, with layers of guitars from Jonas Stein that alternate between chugging riffs and stinging lead lines. It’s not far different from the way the band sounded when they were teens, but the songwriting is often sharper and more considered—there’s a little more control amid the chaos. There’s definitely still chaos on, and also some kink.
Either way, she’s not judging. Rather, the return of Be Your Own Pet is more like a group catharsis, or an exorcism.flushes out all the misplaced pressure and instability that defined the group’s first go-round, while making it clear that Be Your Own Pet remain a force to be reckoned with—but on their terms.
