BABE REPORT SHARE NEW SINGLE "DIY2K"

Posted on March 11th, 2025

Last year saw the release of Babe Report's full length debut, Did You Get Better, and the band are ready to hit the road in support of the record! The Chicago based quartet will head out throughout the midwest and east coast in March and April. Check out all the dates below.

To celebrate the upcoming tour dates, the band have released a brand new single, the mega fuzzy earworm "DIY2K," out today and available to stream everywhere.

Speaking about the single, Ben Grigg (vocals, guitar) shared:

"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."
