Be Your Own Pet will play four shows in England later this month, and then that's it. The group are folding.

For a band barely out of high school, Be Your Own Pet have been enjoying an unusual amount of good fortune over the last few years. In a culmination of their growing success, the Nashville-bred garage-rockers are now set to release their debut full-length through Ecstatic Peace, the Universal-distributed label run by indie rock king Thurston...
