Cold War Kids

judd.baker: This random track from a band I had never heard of before appeared in a Spotify recommended playlist a few years back, and quickly became my most listened to song of 2022. Lyrically excellent and musically a banger and the whole album it introduced me to is great as well.

• Joseph Harvey +2 — From the very first chord I knew this was pure Juddcore. Piano rock is a load bearing log in Judd’s musical Hangar. I could easily picture him singing this for karaoke, more so than any other here, so it gets the double upvote.
• Regina Scime +2 — I can hear Judd singing this!
• ared56 +1
• Claire +1 — This one also feels quite squarely Juddcore. Perhaps I’m truly wildly off but this feels like something that either Eddie would submit for Judd or that Judd would submit for himself. (And if it’s not, then whoever did submit this should know that that’s a compliment)
• shea nowicki +1 — Yes yes yes!!! Truly, CWK are always the move, I wish I'd thought of them myself
• fionmul 0 — Not my cup of tea but this is reminds me of the typa sh Judd does at karaoke
• Edward James 0 — I liked this a good amount (especially the very sneaky Bob Dylan homage). But others stood out more to me. Runner up.
