Past praise for Be Your Own Pet:
“The Nashville punks haven’t aged a day, ratcheting their riotous garage with thumbscrew tension, but Jemina Pearl’s righteous rage exudes experience”
– The Guardian
“Be Your Own Pet is smart and crafty, but most of all, it's a wild-eyed blast.”
- The New York Times
“It's just one quick hit after another, a succession of aural whippets that last long after the record's over. An album chock full of back-to-back barnburners might seem an exhausting listen, but BYOP bucks that trend with ease.” – Pitchfork
“punk, garage rock and just plain fun” - NPR
“tidal wave of raw energy” - Rolling Stone
