Baby Got Back Talk Sign To Wiretap Records & Announce New EP “Existential Shred”

New school pop punkers Baby Got Back Talk have announced their signing to Wiretap Records along with plans to release a new EP, Existential Shred, this summer. Vocalist & bassist G’Ra Asim says, “As the D-I-why?-because-we-gotta punk party known as Baby Got Back Talk goes, the medium is the message. The four of us think of our project as a Mom and Pop Punk band. Which makes linking up with Wiretap Records a whole vibe, since (Wiretap Records owner) Rob (Castellon’s) hustle and social consciousness are a perfect match for our own. Our forthcoming EP, ‘Existential Shred,’ is a bold new chapter in the band’s story and we’re stoked to release it on such a rad and forward-thinking label. Shout to queer punx and punx of color worldwide—this is for you. Only herbs will miss it.”

To coincide with the signing news, the paperback edition of G’Ra‘s first book, Boyz N The Void: A Mixtape To My Brother, will be released on May 10th through Beacon Press. With each chapter anchored by a song on a mixtape, the nonfiction book explores race, gender, class and sexuality as they pertain to punk rock and straight-edge culture. On May 10th, there will be a “rock ‘n’ read” to celebrate the paperback release of Boyz N The Void at Heavy Anchor in St. Louis, MO, with a live read from the book from Asim, followed by a live set from the band.
