Be Your Own Pet have done the unthinkable. They've (prepare yourself) broken up. It was of course through the wonderous technological message known as the MySpace bulletin which informed me of this disastrous event, which read: "To all of our fans, we are sad to bring you the news that our upcoming shows in the UK are going to be our last as a band. We thank you for all your love and support these past few years. It's been a blast, but the time has come for the four of us to go our separate ways."
A blast it's been. I first discovered this foursome while watching MTV2 and being exposed to "Adventure" and since then they've been nothing short of badass perfection.
Top Five BYOP Anthems
5. Zombie Graveyard Party - Featuring on my mixtape as well as the band's second LP "Get Awkward", the lyrics about having a party in a graveyard and the albeit awkward "Life is lame so let me eat your brains" are brilliant.
4. October First Account - The first album's emotional core, Jemina proves she can do the softer sentimental vocals which aren't so apparent on the rest of the album.
3. Fire Department - The riff at the beginning of the song makes it, it's so damn funky - and only a demo.
2. Adventure - The song which started it all, amazing,
1. Becky- Borrowing from Kylie's Locomotion is always gonna be interesting in a song such as this, but cross this over with a tale of high school bitchiness resulting in teenage homicide - it just doesn't get better than this.
I'll see you at Dingwalls for the last ever show.
