Nashville punks Be Your Own Pet have returned with their first record in 15 years, Mommy, due out this Friday.

It’s easy to see why Jack White had the four piece, which consists of vocalist Jemina Pearl Abegg, bassist Nathan Vasquez, guitarist Jonas Stein and drummer John Eatherly, headline a couple of his shows. Their brand of raucous garage rock is sure to appeal to punk fans young and old, or in the case of White, a flagship guitarist in this century’s pantheon of rock music.

Mommy races through 5 songs before taking a breath with the stomping “Pleasure Seeker,” which does slow down a tad, but by no means sacrifices any of the energy that tears through the 11-song record.

The staccato rhythm of “Rubberist” draws on different branches of the punk family tree than the rest of the album’s mostly ripping garage tunes. The guitar stabs are punchy and tight, reminiscent of early post-punk music.

The reason I write “mostly ripping” is because of the way Be Your Own Pet spend the last two songs of Mommy expanding upon the album’s energy, choosing instead to explore slower, dreamier and somehow more raw avenues.

The penultimate track, “Drive,” is perhaps the record’s strongest, once again embellished by nervy, tight guitar and backing vocals that give the song a haunted edge. It also gives Stein the most time out of any song on the album to shred before blasting into a cacophonic finish that sees Pearl’s vocals at their fullest and most powerful, rising above the mix to create the best moment on Mommy.

It’s then followed with whiplash in the form of “Teenage Heaven,” a sonic dreamboat to send the listener on their way. The guitars adopt tones previously unheard on the record, and there are even acoustic strums strewn about to embellish the atmosphere. The solo featured here stretches out and reclines, rather than hustle to get its words out before the rest of the band catches up. This two-song suite demonstrates the mark of confidence in a band, willing to branch out and explore their indulgences, whether or not they adhere to expectations.

Be Your Own Let’s newest, Mommy, offers a little bit of everything to listeners, be it garage rock, post punk or dream pop. A brief listen that can take listeners across eras and styles, all the while with emphatic energy.
