After pulling out of the Warped Tour earlier this summer, Nashville punk-terrors Be Your Own Pet have announced that they’ll be breaking up after they play a smattering of festivals in the UK later this month. No reason was given, but there is a lot of “nooooo”-ing on the band’s MySpace blog announcing the split. [MySpace; HT Cassidy2099]

No! Not Be Your Own Pet!
A week or two back I just had to hear The Kelly Affair, which in turn lead me to put their latest disc back in heavy rotation. It really is quite the rollicking affair. And though I can’t say I stan for this band extra hard, I am kind of bummed by this news. I guess it ain’t easy being young and in a band. Here’s hoping that the lead singer at least goes solo. That girl is straight FIRE!
not the greatest live band, but I loved their records.
It strikes me as odd that they came out with their big, poppy second album and the only touring they did was as support for two bands that draw people twice as old as memebers of BYOP. I never got why they never went for the younger crowd. Better the kids listen to them than whatever bullshit is on Warped this year
I actually actively hate this band, her voice, her godawful lyrics, the fact that they are signed to Thurston’s label, hmmm…let’s see? Oh yeah, I hate the pedestrian music, too. Yep. HATE.

It’s Becky I’ve got a problem with, after talking all that shit.
@Peg Entwistle: Those lyrics are so NOT kick-ass:
We are adventuring we are adventurers
Did they fall it was the lazy half
The lazy players, the sun behind the start
We traveled through jungles in the tiger sweet parts
Okay so yeah it’s cool
Cos we’re like, adventurers
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We’ve been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers

I’m so glad I will be free from this one-note gimmick for the next couple of years until the inevitable grotesquerie of a solo project shows up.
Such a shame, they were a fun band.
noooo!
@DocStrange: Fun as in driving nails into my urethra fun.
