Title: Be Your Own Pet: How the Nashville Punks are Making a Comeback After 15 Years Be Your Own Pet may have burned out too soon after their initial success, but they never truly faded away. Now, after 15 years, the Nashville punks are roaring back with a new album, "Mommy," and a fresh perspective. The quartet's high-energy sound and rebellious spirit brought them acclaim early on in their career. However, their rapid ascent was followed by a breakup in 2008. Fans were left yearning for more from a band that was too raw and unapologetic to stay quiet for long. But now, Be Your Own Pet is back and better than ever. With encouragement from none other than Jack White himself, the band regrouped to create "Mommy." The album is a perfect blend of their signature punk sound with a newfound maturity that comes from years of experience and reflection. In "Mommy," lead singer Jemina Pearl's vocals soar over driving guitar riffs and pounding drums. The lyrics are sharp and unapologetic, channeling a sense of anger that is as fresh as it was when Be Your Own Pet first burst onto the scene. For fans who have been waiting patiently, the wait has been more than worth it. "Mommy" is a true punk album, unafraid to take on social and political issues with unflinching honesty. Be Your Own Pet is back, and they are proving that punk never truly dies. With "Mommy," they are once again the voice of a generation that refuses to be silenced. After a quick rise and a fast burnout, this quartet has regrouped, acquired a fresh perspective, and made a new album, with Jack White's encouragement.
