I've never consciously listened to this band on the basis of that piss-awful name. That is all.

deflinus 01.27.2009 05:20 PM

the only reason why i paid any attention to this band is because of my hard on for the chick

One of my favorite albums of 08.
One of the only recent punk bands with pretty much no pretension AND the ability to upset your parents without having to rely on gruesomeness or excessive profanity to do so. What can I say, I love Be Your Own Pet and was sad to see them go.

Jonas was apparently a bit of a douchebag so 2/3 of the Turbo Fruits left Nashville to move up to NYC with Jemina to form a new band.

BYOP IS BASICALLY JUST JEMINA GUYS

Man I nearly raged. The I read the "just kidding"

atsonicpark 01.27.2009 10:04 PM

that chick is really hot though; she got hotter after the band broke up.

Can't rep :(

This album was okay. Stupid universal people removed 3 tracks, 2 of which being the best ones from the album, Becky and Black Hole. That ticked me off a bit. But yeah not even close to being the best album ever, haha. Nice one. They were a decent band, too bad they broke up, but they'll all move on to other projects.

like I could post a serious thread?? Me ?????

I remember when these guys broke up I was like, jumping up and down from excitement. I posted so many myspace bulletins in celebration.

SYRFox 01.28.2009 01:23 AM

That's a bit too much maybe ? I mean, they were certainly not that good and I never listen to them, but they weren't THAT bad either...
I think even if the Mars Volta splitted I wouldn't celebrate it. I mean, who gives a fuck? I don't like this band, I have other things to care about than if they do split or not.
I'd rather be sad when a band I like split

why do you care that much if a band continues to make music or not?
