You're from Nashville, you've been plugging away at your band for years, and then suddenly it all happens; no longer are you safely ensconced within your little geographical bosom, in a whirlwind second you're now the hottest band on the planet... and you're only _17_...

Yes indeed, Be Your Own PET** own a great band name, a fantastically full-on focal point to the band and a whole lot of hair and DIY kudos. They are the Yeah Yeah Stripes, and they are not the greatest new band in the world. But they are fucking good.

'Damn Damn Leash' is a whirling headspin of a crunch-rock indie disco anthem, with a chorus that spins "round and around and around and round".... and it's got enough fiery young blood and anger for all those record company people to s-s-s-s-uck them dry. Mmm. Vampirical. See above for a description of additional tracks 'spill' ("you're breaking my spinal cord") and 'Electric Shake' ("throw that fucker out the door").

A hit of rock n roll so essential, so now, we can only compare it to a Big Mac; a momentary decision of brief fulfillment ultimately disgraced by it's own fleeting beauty.

They do sound exactly like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but their bass player has the best haircut in the world.... ever!

Its not bad this. The vocal sounds like a mutated cross between The B52's and the Rezzilos! With White Stripe guitar riffs!

Three strong tracks. Nice!

How on earth can you claim a Big Mac is a beautiful thing?

Fine single, bad burger!

Hey! Catch up! They've been selling this single since last year at the label that discovered them and got everybody in a dither with their hand made single, made in the drummers basement in nashville Tn!
They still have some left, cause I just bought 4 of them.

I was thinking of importing the home made one but not sure how much it will come to. Where is the one on XL being sold over here? Me thinks the homemade version may be worth the purchase.

Saw these guys twice last week, After the first gig, just had to go see them again !! they were selling the US version as well as the UK one at the gigs, I had previously bought the US version fron Infinity Cat, ( with no picture inside ) but the one they were selling at gigs is stickered with a free picture inside, I have seen the US one on E-Bay for as much as £20 !!
