"We're on two wheels baby!" yelps Jemina Pearl throughout the mere two minutes of this single from Nashville's Be Your Own Pet. The subject? "F**king S**t up" on your bike of course, with absolutely no mention of Queen whatsoever. Brilliant!
Starting off in a punk rock ethic, with pounding drums gradually incorporating the main guitar riff and continuing relentlessly for the next 130 seconds, aside from a slight build up towards the final verse - this is as fine a slice of pop/post-punk you're likely to hear. Pearl's vocals despite being mainly yelped, are delivered with the same amount of sass as can be heard throughout their self-titled debut full length.
The song doesn't really go on long enough to call it one-dimensional despite the fact that there is little change dynamically. Take this track at face value and you won't be disappointed, as it is best summed up by the band themselves: "We're fast, we're fast, we're having a blast".
