Babe Report are releasing a single entitled "DIY2K", fresh off the heels of their 2024 LP "Did You Get Better". This single coincides with their first US tour, in March/April 2025. This track is a sneering indictment of the Cybertruck-driving MAGA ethos and the ruthless "leaders" who inspire them.
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 their 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.
