While Be Your Own Pet is an amazing band with large amounts of energy, their energy has been channeled into something more like an album a 10 year old would make about "Not wanting to grow up" and zombies. It's listenable though.

Nashville, Kentucky's Be Your Own Pet hit the scene in 2006 with a rambunctious and wholly authentic nod to their idols-namely Iggy Pop, T. Rex, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The four high school dropouts, led by charismatic frontwoman Jemina Pearl, signed to Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label, quickly becoming one of the most talked about new bands of that year.

Like its predecessor, 'Get Awkward' has taken hints from the Stooges while dipping into 1950s rock'n'roll. Ferocious, energetic and angry as hell. Our journalists will try to respond by joining the threads when they can to create a true meeting of independent minds.

Album Intro: Get Awkward is the sophomore full-length from Nashville foursome Be Your Own Pet. Making it presented new challenges for Jonas, Jemina, Nathan, and John, and yielded some surprises. The songs remain fast and loud, totally wired and tantalizingly brief. The first time we were recording was scary,' singer Jemina Pearl recalls of making Be Your Own Pet. The band was reluctant to tamper with proven formulae. Dead set against it, actually.
