be your own PET (often abbreviated to BYOP) are a four-piece post-punk group from Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Formed in 2002 at the Nashville School of the Arts, their sound is basic, primal garage rock. They are often compared to popular New York group Yeah Yeah Yeahs, not just for their style, featuring heavy rock guitars with abrasive vocals and erratic, angular rhythms, but also in terms of their stage presence. Lead singer Jemina Pearl Abegg (born 20 June 1987) is the daughter of rock photographer Jimmy Abegg.
