Be Your Own Pet

Be Your Own Pet received more press than ever before due to the faux-censorship scandal resulting from Universal Music Group’s decision to bar the inclusion of three "offensive” tracks from this release. Fortunately, even without them, Get Awkward is a thrilling release from the Nashville youth punks. From the upbeat party growl of "Super Soaked” to the goofy gang chants of "Bummer Time,” Get Awkward is chock full of insanely fun songs about drugs, sex and high school. Even when things slow down, as on "You’re A Waste,” BYOP still pump out flawlessly messy punk jams that channel a much older generation of rock’n’roll.
