Denver, CO based duo Wheelchair Sports Camp will be releasing their Alternative Tentacles debut full-length, oh imperfecta, on May 15, leading with the new single "Eat Meat!".
Described as a "genre bending, punk-powered hip-hop project", the lead single leans into the punk realm.
Wheelchair Sports Camp features Kalyn Rose Heffernan, backed by Greggy, as well as a team of collaborators on the upcoming record.
“In an attempt to unlearn my perfectionism and finish the damn album, I picked up the drums for the first time since middle school and wrote 'EAT MEAT!' with Greggy on guitar. It was the most fun we've had and it instantly felt good enough for the first time maybe ever? We were on to something, ... if every dude can play mediocre guitar, why can't I play shitty drums?“ Heffernan says of the single (below). “It freed me from having to be the best rapper and out-bar every rapper in the bar. Come to find out I’ve been overcompensating my whole life because I am genetically imperfecta. Osteogenesis imperfecta is the name of my brittle bones disease and I’m realizing more and more how my body has been the center of attention since birth. Described in dehumanizing, demoralizing, and very unbecoming ways, it's no wonder I’ve always felt like I had to be the best. This album is a collection of songs from the past decade and finished because we simplified: oh imperfecta.”
The duo released a 7" called "Yess I'm A Mess" in 2023 on Alternative Tentacles as well.
