“…Then Nashville’s Be Your Own Pet flawlessly set the stage for what was to come with their signature snarl and drive. Midway through their set, The Linda Lindas even joined them on stage for a raucous performance of “Hand Grenade,” blending their youthful energy with BYOP’s seasoned punk fury and they closed their set with a blistering cover of The Damned’s punk classic, “Neat Neat Neat.”
Be Your Own Pet (BYOP) is a punk/garage rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, originally formed in 2003. The band consists of lead vocalist Jemina Pearl, guitarist Jonas Stein, bassist Nathan Vasquez, and drummer John Eatherly. They gained prominence in the mid-2000s with their energetic performances and raw sound, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2006 and Get Awkward in 2008. After disbanding in 2008, BYOP reunited in 2021, spurred by an invitation from Jack White to open for his tour.
This reunion led to the release of their third studio album, Mommy, on August 25, 2023, under Third Man Records. The album has been praised for blending the band’s original frenetic energy with a matured perspective. The Guardian described it as “inventive and itchy with anger,” highlighting tracks like “Rubberist” and “Pleasure Seeker” and Under the Radar noted that Mommy “expertly splits the difference between the teen snottiness and insane energy of their 2000s output and a more mature musical and lyrical outlook”…”
