Bio

Be Your Own Pet, également abrégé BYOP, est un groupe de punk rock américain, originaire de Nashville, dans le Tennessee. Quatuor furieux mené par Jemina Pearl, ils sont souvent comparés aux Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Leur texte aborde les thèmes de la vie adolescente (difficulté d'aller voir des films d'horreur et des concerts de punk quand on n'a pas l’âge légal, ...), la moyenne d'âge de ce groupe étant de moins de 20 ans.

Le 1er août 2008 le groupe se sépare après une ultime tournée anglaise et seulement une date à la suite de la sortie de leur deuxième album.

Be Your Own Pet (also known as BYOP or stylised as be your own PET) is a punk/garage rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, formed in 2003. For a majority of their career, the band's line-up has consisted of lead vocalist Jemina Pearl, guitarist Jonas Stein, bassist Nathan Vasquez and drummer John Eatherly. After originally releasing early singles and EPs with Nashville-based Infinity Cat Records, the band signed to XL Recordings and Thurston Moore's label, Ecstatic Peace/Universal Records in the UK & North America respectively.

Be Your Own Pet released their self-titled debut album in 2006, receiving critical acclaim from publications such as NME and Pitchfork. Shortly following the release of their second album Get Awkward in 2008, the group disbanded, citing misogyny directed towards and experienced by Pearl and a general burnout from pressures of the music industry as the reasons for their split.

Following a fourteen year hiatus, they reunited in 2021 after being specifically requested by American musician and songwriter, Jack White to open up on a few southeastern US dates of his Supply Chain Issues Tour in support of the two studio albums he would release that year. They subsequently signed to Third Man Records (co-owned by White and Pearl's husband, Ben Swank) soon after, where the group released their third studio album, Mommy on August 25, 2023.
