Make a Pest a Pet by The Age of Electric
Make a Pest a Pet is an album by The Age of Electric, released in 1996. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Remote Control”, on 3 lists with a best position of #147.
Make a Pest a Pet was the Age of Electric's third studio album and, as it turned out, their last, a Mercury Records release from a Canadian band that had been at it since 1989, with roots in Lanigan and Regina, Saskatchewan. Todd Kerns sang and played guitar, Ryan Dahle took the other guitar and backing vocals, John Kerns played bass and Kurt Dahle drummed and sang backup, and together they kick up a big, bright alternative rock racket that never loses sight of the chorus.
"Remote Control" led the charge and went top 10 in Canada, dragging the album onto the Canadian Albums Chart for the only time in the band's run. It peaked at 78 there in 1997 and was certified gold at home the following year. No studio album came after it, which makes it both their commercial peak and their parting shot.
