Be Your Own Sophomore Album

beyourownpet1

Be Your Own Pet’s self titled debut was, to say the least, a big deal. It didn’t, ya know, rock my world, but that Bicycle Bicycle song was pretty rad. Their big sophomore release Get Awkward is set for a March 18 release on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace label, and it’s going to be a post-punk party…with Zombies, and stuff.

Guitarist Jonas Stien (age 7) told Billboard that this album will be more dynamic than the first. “It was simple before when we first started writing music, but now this album has taken a darker turn. It’s more aggressive is also puts all of our tastes together.”

Lead singer Jemina Pearl (Age 9) said that she had some writer’s block for lyrics on this record. She admitted to writing songs about movies; “Bitches Leave,” for example, inspired by Robocop.

Get Awkward tracklisting:

01. Super Soaked
02. Black Hole
03. Heart Throb
04. Becky
05. The Kelly Affair
06. Twisted Nerve
07. Blow Yr Mind
08. Bummer Time
09. Bitches Leave
10. You’re a Waste
11. Food Fight!
12. Zombie Graveyard Party
13. What’s Your Damage
14. Creepy Crawl
15. The Beast Within
