Staff Picks With Backyard Babies, Noname, Neil Young, and mustbejohn

Senior Editor Brett Callwood

Backyard Babies

"Bombed (Out of My Mind)"

It's been 27 years since Sweden's Backyard Babies released the Total 13 album. They should have gone on to big things; instead they remain a cult favorite. Meh, maybe it's better this way. Total 13 is up there with Appetite For Destruction and Earth Vs. The Wildhearts in the "gloriously filthy rock 'n' roll albums" rankings, and "Bombed" is stunning.

Noname (feat. Cam O’bi & Raury)

"Diddy Bop"

It’s a luxury to sit back with this track. It’s easy listening, and for keen ears, there’s a story layered in that glorious production.

Operations Manager Robin Rose

Neil Young

"Big Crime"

"No more great again
Got big crime in DC at the White House"

No Kings song, speaks for itself, thank you Neil.

Editorial Intern Anna Jordan

"Good to Me"

A weird little British earworm about all the bad things that feel good.
