Aug 25, 2023On their third album Mommy, their blistering garage punk is finessed, their songwriting, sharp and sardonic.
-
Aug 23, 2023Be Your Own Pet have retained the vitality of their youth while leaving behind the baggage.
-
UncutAug 23, 2023They're bummed to learn that adulthood breeds more angst than adolescence, which inspires a sharp-edged '70s hard rock, with songs celebrating kink and demanding equal pay and full-body autonomy on "Big Trouble". [Sep 2023, p.23]

Aug 25, 2023Hearing Pearl reclaim her agency with an older, wiser, and hopefully more sustainable incarnation of Be Your Own Pet is a thrill for fans old and new.

Aug 25, 2023SOLID rock n' roll album. I'd give this an 8.5 rating. Worship the whip, Big Trouble and Hand Grenade are standouts.
