Be Your Own Pet’s new record Get Awkward is one of my favorites of the year thus far. It’s full of gritty guitars and great hooks that will make the Christian mothers in Middle America cringe. Universal doesn’t want to offend these mothers, hence the big buzz on the blogs last week about Universal pulling three tracks off Be Your Own Pet’s new record because the suits deemed the lyrics too violent. The tracks Becky, Blow Yr Mind and Black Hole can be found pretty easily (wink wink) with simple searches of Hype Machine. You should definitely pick them up, unless you want to import the cd for $30. Supposedly the songs will come out in the US in EP form later this year.

Another violent song that snuck it’s way onto the album “Food Fight” has a brand new video for you to enjoy below. Watch out for flying pizza!
