iTunes Review
The teenaged angst of this Nashville quartet’s debut has morphed only in its confident sound for the 2008 follow-up Get Awkward. Tunes such as “Bitches Leave,” “You’re A Waste,” and “Food Fight” aren’t much for rhetorical eloquence, but they do rock with a manic intensity that resembles a band running on a treadmill paced several miles too fast. This is punk rock played the way it was meant to be played: abrasion above all else. This crazed atmosphere means Pet constantly sound like they’re playing catch-up, rushing guitar riffs to the finish line. Their possessed lead singer, Jemina Pearl, ranges from declarative screams to hysterical whelps at the top of her register, resembling X Ray Spex’s Poly Styrene and Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein at their most emotionally tormented -- or just highly excited. There’s a palpable joy in the mock football chants stalking “The Beast Within” and “Bummer Time.” “Heart Throb” is playfully adolescent. “The Kelly Affair” and “Zombie Graveyard Party” resemble a B-movie’s perfect soundtrack.

...empty
by d.der.d.i'm really upset that this band, and its singer, is compared to carrie from sleater-kinney. this band's lyrics are empty, self-absorbed and tiring. the music is good... but all the songs share too much of the same timing, tempo and rhythm. sleater-kinney does not deserve to be compared--even loosely--to this band.
Awesome
by Football_lvrGreat album, my favorites are The Kelly Affair, Super Soaked, Heart Throb, and B*****s Leave. If you like Be Your Own Pet, you'll probably like Dirty Epics.
Great!
