Album Review: Be Your Own Pet (Self Titled)

Firstly, it has to be said that people who find the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Grates to be insults to music had best look elsewhere: all music contained therein can safely be grouped as “hyperenergetic shaky voiced vixen waif fronts fringey wall of guitar noise”. However fans and even those who are cheerfully indifferent may want to give these guys a half a listen. There’s fifteen tracks of condensed “fuck you” on the disk that may not charge forward in a unified burst, but explodes all over the room like indoor fireworks. Best lyric: “Have fun, and be safe with it. Just kidding, fuck shit up!”.
