Album Notes
GET AWKWARD is every bit a record by a group of teenage punks, at the crossroads of young adulthood but still tangled in the turmoil of adolescent dilemmas. "Everybody here parties all the time/Everybody here has got sex on their mind/It could be dangerous living in the valley," Jemina Pearl snarls on "The Kelly Affair," her almost precious musings made less trivial by the no-nonsense garage-bashing of her bandmates. AWKWARD is actually quite confident in its songwriting, channeling decades of lo-fi scuzz and hi-velocity venom through hyper-energized brattiness and refreshingly unashamed angst. But Pearl is really the spit and soul of this outfit, transforming Pet from a cute, novelty amalgamation of clichés into a group worthy of grabbing a torch kept lit by femme-fronted agit-punk collectives like the Slits, Tilt, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Editorial Reviews
Jemima Pearl sneers the better songs here like a riot grrrl from Cell Block #9.
Harp

4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he studio banter between songs adds to the pleasing impression that this band is having a blast making records.
Mojo

3 stars out of 5 -- [T]hese 15 bursts of speedy pop-punk revel in the same adolescent neuroses as bygone teen groups like The Shangri-La's, with the verve and spark of The Undertones.
Q

3 stars out of 5 -- It's a testament to the young band's precociousness that they've managed a mature take on reckless abandon.
Alternative Press

3 stars out of 5 -- Jemima Pearl's voice is compelling, ensuring Be Your Own Pet! sound like a candy-coloured, pocket-sized Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Uncut

4 stars out of 5 -- This time Pearl's scream is deeper and meaner....They celebrate teen romance, girl fights, mindless violence and trash TV...
