Tours: Be Your Own Pet (UK)

Posted by adam on Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 2:00 PM (EDT)

Nashville's Be Your Own Pet will play a few shows in the UK this August following their appearances at the Reading and Leeds Festivals. The band is supporting their sophomore full length Get Awkward.

You'll of course recall that earlier this summer the polarizing band further stirred the hornets nest of punk opinion by rather unceremoniously dropping off the Warped Tour.

F this S.

scientistrock (July 19, 2008)

People in England, go to these shows in Rancid T-Shirts.

MattRamone (July 19, 2008)

Also, start food fights.

HOISTDATRAG (July 19, 2008)

but that would be awesome

Xine (July 19, 2008)

That was my first thought.

MattRamone (July 19, 2008)

Let's stereotype the same way Jemima did, yes? British audiences are just full of skinny-tied yobs with bad dentistry and no taste for anything that isn't the flash in the pan, flavor of the month.

INDW (July 19, 2008)

how the....i don't even have a link to my home page?

Holy_Balls (July 19, 2008)

girls in neon clothing who love juno are stoked!

kevgren (July 19, 2008)

I remember the first article or two about this band on here, everybody jumped all over anything negative that was said about them in the comments. When did they fall out of flavor... er favor?

I-type-poorly (July 19, 2008)

Their new album sucks balls, thats how.

punknewscommenter (July 19, 2008)

i was thinking the same thing. hardly a bad word was said about these guys (including the new album) and then that warped tour comment came out. and then everyone got sand in their vagina.

Holy_Balls (July 21, 2008)

i always thought they sucked. the lead singer is hot though. but damn, her band sucks.

blue_drink (July 19, 2008)

I'm terribly sorry, UK.

mackerel_minge (July 19, 2008)

aye? fuck off.

blue_drink (July 19, 2008)

Oh, UK likes this band? :(

RondoMondo (July 19, 2008)

There's nothing wrong with this band.

punknewscommenter (July 19, 2008)

if you're sayin that with all seriousness, then i'd have to say i agree with you.

Jesus_H_Christ (July 19, 2008)

People need to lay off this band. If the words of a musician affect you that much then maybe you should, you know, grow a brain.

It's not to say this band is amazing or something. I don't even like them that much.

dlangl4 (July 19, 2008)

Foooooooooooddddddddddddd fiiiiiiiiigggggggggggghtttttttttt

jacknife737 (July 19, 2008)

hold on boys, let me just get my Rancid shirt.

reinventingkyle (July 20, 2008)

i love be your own pet!
and i own multiple rancid t-shirts
honestly warped is full of those kinds of kids and although rancid is my favorite band their fans tend to be jerks if things arent 'punk rawk'

binaural111 (July 20, 2008)

UK DOES love this band. NME creams over them.

mackerel_minge (July 20, 2008)

And everyone knows that the NME is always right, just ask Morrissey.
