Babe Report Drop “DIY2K” Single Ahead Of North American Spring Tour

Last year saw the release of Babe Report‘s full length debut, Did You Get Better, via Exploding In Sound Records. The Chicago based band are now ready to hit the road in support of the record, the quartet will head out throughout the midwest and east coast in March and April. To celebrate the upcoming tour dates, the band have today released a brand new single, the mega fuzzy DIY2K.

This track is a sneering indictment of the Cybertruck-driving MAGA ethos and the ruthless “leaders” who inspire them. The track began as part of guitarist/vocalist my song-a-day recording project Whelpwisher, but blossomed into a fully-fledged Babe Report track, with the help of my bandmates. The lyrics remind us that “…ruthless people will do anything to get to the top, the problem is that they’re still ruthless when they get there.” The song also playfully recalls the leadoff track from Did You Get Better titled “Turtle of Reaper,” which mentions fear mongering over the Y2K bug. With “DIY2K,” the fear mongering might be justified. And as the title suggests, we did this to ourselves.” (vocalist and guitarist Ben Grigg)
