Buy Be Your Own Pet from Amazon
Not so much an album as a stampede of songs, Be Your Own Pet's first full-length serves up more of the bratty, chaotic garage/noise/pop that made the band's EPs a sensation in the U.K. Actually, it's not surprising that Be Your Own Pet found fans there early on; not only does the group have the garage rock sass that the U.K. has been partial to for most of the 2000s, it also possesses a cute but prickly vibe that's similar to British indie bands like This Is Teen-C Power!-era Bis and KaitO.
