Three seconds Rock'n'Roll hope

Since they were in the middle of the last decade, at the very beginning of a new century, a new millennium, together with other young rock'n'roll and punk hopes. Be Your Own Pet - a band that considered now in retrospect was one of a generation that is not redefined rock music, not reinvented, but the genre was traced back to their roots and exciting weddings again. The emphasis here is on the word "want", because what there was not anything for so-called indie rock hopes that all wanted one thing: the Rock'n'Roll of the 60s, the punk of the 70s and the post-punk of the 80 to the plastic of the 90 times revive. This led to a never-ending wave of "retro bands" as she was dubbed by the media full of ingenuity. Everything egged on by bands like the White Stripes or Strokes.
But already from 2005 was somehow deflated what the eternal surge was not tear of new, over and over again each copy bands mainly from the UK, or New York.

What does that now have to do with this young, furious band from Nashville?
Be Your Own Pet had a band that played the punk of the 70s when there was no tomorrow. Seemingly isolated from the whole retro wave and very far away from getting boring becoming copyists rock, Be Your Own Pet play here so unleashed, up kratzes album one that you have to seriously consider, when you have such immense power the last time in history the music heard. Then fairly quickly come to mind a handful of names, which are, however, in the past 20-30 years. "Be Your Own Pet" combines the same unbridled, insane power as once "Raw Power" by the Stooges or "Germ Free Adolescents" from X-Ray Spex, but they play just not as they would try just this sound and this aggressiveness to imitate. Seems to be precisely linked these schemes, the music of the whole new "indie" bands on, Be Your Own Pet break out easily. Completely excoriated like a young Iggy Pop singer Jemina Pearl is the whole game time over in flames. "I am an independent motherf * cker and I'm here to take your money," she bangs a around the ears and thus embodies exactly the kind of nihilism that barked a once a young Johnny Rotten contrary.
Be Your Own Pet sound like troubled, bored out of their environment and society teenager should sound. They bring exactly this kind of rock'n'roll on stage that you love that you live and that it wanted to be from the beginning a: loud, fast, rough, dirty and especially conformist. Rock'n'Roll with which one wants to drive his parents to distraction. Rock'n'Roll with which you want to break all conventions. Rock'n'Roll with which one wants to conquer the whole world. That you get offered here, no, once you've launched this album is one of what is supposed to be rock and roll, which is supposed to be Punk spat in the face.
After a good 33 minutes, the more or less controlled chaos is then over. After more than four years and two albums is then in 2008 also the interplay of Be Your Own Pet past and thus the Rock'n'Roll and Punk hope of the 21st century, the total also just lasted three seconds.
