Be Your Own Pet is a band that has been through a lot since they first burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s. After going on hiatus in 2008, the band reunited last year for a series of shows, much to the delight of their fans. Now, they have announced their first new album in over a decade, titled “Mommy,” set to be released on August 25th via Third Man Records.

The album features the single “Hand Grenade,” which has already been released, as well as the newly released “Worship the Whip,” along with nine other tracks. In a statement about the album, lead singer Jemina Pearl described it as a “reclamation” of herself, and revealed that it was the first time she had brought full song ideas to the band’s writing process.

One of the standout tracks on the album, “Worship the Whip,” is a politically charged song that takes aim at the right-wing authoritarian personality. According to Pearl, the song is about those who are aggressive and domineering to people who don’t think like them, while at heart being submissive to authority figures.

In addition to the new album, Be Your Own Pet has also announced a world tour, set to take place in 2023. The tour will be called the “Teenage Heaven World Tour,” and will see the band play shows all over the world, from the United States to Europe and beyond.

Overall, Be Your Own Pet is a band that has proven time and time again that they are capable of making great music, even after all these years. With “Mommy,” they have once again shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in the music world, and fans old and new are no doubt eagerly awaiting the release of the album. So whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, be sure to check out “Mommy” when it drops on August 25th.
