World's Fair

Beginning June 20, Def Jux’s Junk Science will be hitting parking lots, amphitheaters, and fairgrounds across the country as part of the Vans Warped Tour, balancing the punk guitars of bands like Against Me!, Reel Big Fish, and Be Your Own Pet with their seamless and energetic rhymes and beats. Recognizing the gap in hip-hop after Hangar 18 had to cancel their own Warped Tour dates, Junk Science jumped at the chance to join what is otherwise affectionately referred to as “punk rock summer camp.”

Baje One and Snafu, the MC/DJ duo that comprise Junk Science, have known each other since they were both kids growing up in Brooklyn, and now, as part of the celebrated Nuclear Family, they’ve brought their music to the rest of the world, most recently on their second LP, Gran’Dad’s Nerve Tonic — out on Definitive Jux last October — and through extensive touring with the tireless Del the Funky Homosapien. Warped Tour gives them yet another opportunity to show off their stuff, the perfect mix of cool and swagger, complementing and enhancing the line-up and winning over plenty of fans in the meantime.
 
Get ready for show with a sweet remix of “Hey!” with The Boys & Girls Club.
