Not long since the break-up that shook our world last year, Be Your Own Pet's lead firethrower Jemina Pearl and drummer/too-boyish-to-be-grimy-garage-rock Johnny Rash are back, in, well, some way, shape or form. A cryptic MySpace page exists for the two...

Before Be Your Own Pet made a video for the banned-in-the-USA tune "Becky," we told you the Tennessee punks were calling it quits after their UK tour. It's now after their UK tour. They are no longer. While drying your tears, you can watch footage of Jemina & Co. giving it their all this past Tuesday (8/26) at Dingwalls in London. The guys take off their shirts. The audience comes on stage. Jem...

I'm not a huge fan of these guys, but this video made me laugh the lyrics were so lame yet catchy.

So the recent news that they'd broken up hit me with the force of, say, finding out that the guy who reads your gas meter has retired.

Fucking hell. Just as they were starting to hit their groove too. The posted track is in my mind their best, even after it was banned by Universal in a move that may have led to their break up. Bands breaking up before they can legally drink is never a good sign.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets Rilo Kiley.Good stuff, worth a listen if you like that indie rocker chick-lead stuff. High energy, short songs, definitely enjoyable.First track suggestion: October, First Account (I heard it on Launchcast, and immediately downloaded the entire album to share with friends.)

Ever since they first burst onto a scene that was unashamedly gay for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with 'Damn Damn Leash' , Nashville's Be Your Own Pet have parted opinion across the land. That was back in 2004, now they are seasoned pros, but tonight sparks the final bout
