Search - Be Your Own Pet :: Get Awkward

"Me and her, we'll kick your a**, we'll wait with knives aft

""Get Awkward" is the sophomore effort of Be Your Own Pet, a young punk band from Nashville, Tennessee. The entire album is loud and angry, but is still a lot of fun to listen to. Three of the tracks on the CD were banned from release in the United States on account of them being "too disturbing." One of those tracks is "Becky," my favorite song on the album by far, which is about a teenager who kills one of her classmates. The other songs are all pretty good, although a lot of them sound very similar. Also, many of the tracks on this album are incredibly short, less than a minute or two in length, which was a disappointing surprise. Still, "Get Awkward" is a lot of fun, and this group's peppy energy combined with the lead vocalist's killer pipes makes Be Your Own Pet a band to watch in the future."

Awesome album

"This album is amazing. I like it even more than their first. But one thing to take into account: the US version doesn't have all 15 songs the way the UK version does, because the label consored them. It's total BS, and those songs are amazing. So I would say download the UK version, or buy the UK version because there is some awesome packaging. All four members have a card with info about then that's hilarious."

I hate hipsters

"Most of the songs were faster than my hand reaching for the skip button. Like any album, they have a good song here and there, but not nearly enough to make an impression on me. In my honest opinion, these hipsters aren't worth your time or money."
