Be Your Own Pet is Still Rock'n'Roll


...Although they've grown past majority now.

Or should that be: even though they've grown up, they're still rock'n'roll?

After this, rather gothy, video you could expect the worst. Teenage girls in nurse uniforms, how emo can you get (the background in the pic doesn't count, that's just a club in Austin)? Well, cousin Jemina (not Aunt, although she's from Tennessee) still has got a voice like you wouldn't believe - raw, guttural, sexy - and the band serves her really well. On stage, she's a raging vixen, shaking her stuff like Iggy has reincarnated even if he has not died yet. (He Should, BTW)

I was overjoyed to see that BYOP had a new album out (source of the first video) and I like it even better than their previous effort. I guess you get better when you get older, up to a certain age. One song hypemachine/youtube has not picked up on yet, but which to me really exemplifies the raw strength of BYOP can be found here. 100 downloads only!

This one is rather funny as well.
