Teenage Nashville rockers Be Your Own PET have revealed the replacement for former drummer Jamin Orral.

Orral - who left the band t'other month to concentrate on getting an education (good boy) and run his record label Infinity Cat (like, cool) - will see his stool 'filled' by sixteen-year-old John Eatherly. Eatherly is a long-term buddy of the band, so he's sure to fit right in.

Unless he's a long-term 'friend', and they've only called upon his services to have someone to act as the butt of their jokes. I had some 'friends' as a sixteen-year-old. Actually, they're all I had since so few real ones were available.

Be Your Own PET are a band. They probably have CDs in shops and stuff. You can probably buy them. For your 'friends'. Whatever...

JEFF: better.

If you've heard Jamin's other band JEFF, it makes sense that he's not quitting that one! Get CASTLE STORM and judge for yourself. It's on his label. I'm not slagging BYOP, I liked them, but I've always been more of a JEFF fan cuz there's just more to the music.

and deluxin', turbofruits

ALL the Pet members have side projects (which aren't really side projects because they were all playing before Pet except Jemina's new band).
If you read their bio, Pet was a side project of Jeff. who I agree are great.
but so are Turbofriuts and Deluxin'. (Havn't seen Jemina's thing yet). They must all be bored with the Pet thing.
