It’s perhaps fair to say
that Finland carries a bit of a stereotype of being all about the metal, so
some people may find Steve’ n’ Seagulls, a band that plays bluegrass/folk
covers of metal songs, to be a bit of an anomaly, but it’s fair to say that
this is a band that you’ll fall in love with upon listening!
Quite simply, Farm Machine
is just a fun album you’ll keep wanting to come back to. Featuring a
tremendously energetic rendition of Iron Maiden’s The Trooper, a cover of Over
The Hills And Far Away that will have you singing along to it before you know
what’s hit you and the version of Rammstein’s Ich Will that can only really be
described as truly unique, Farm Machineis packed full of brilliant covers from
start to finish.
Perhaps the greatest
inclusion of all is Holy Diver, a cover of the Dio classic that has gained
infamy in recent years due to Killswitch Engage’s acclaimed cover of it. However this cover is – dare I
say it? – even better! It just has this special spark that will leave you
wanting to listen to it over and over again, which is truly the sign of a good
song.
As a whole, Farm Machine is
an excellent listen and it goes without question that I’ll be down at the front
for their performance at Nummirock!

I
was caught
In
the middle of a railroad track (thunder)
I
looked round
And
I knew there was no turning back (thunder)
My
mind raced
And
I thought what could I do (thunder)
And
I knew
There
was no help, no help from you (thunder)
Sound
of the drums
Beatin'
in my heart
The
thunder of guns
Tore
me apart
You've
been thunderstruck
Went
down the highway
Broke
the limit, we hit the town
Went
through to Texas, yeah, Texas
And
we had some fun
We
met some girls
Some
dancers who gave a good time
Broke
all the rules, played all the fools
Yeah,
yeah, they, they, they blew our minds
I
was shakin' at the knees
Could
I come again, please?
Yeah,
the ladies were too kind
You've
been thunderstruck, thunderstruck
Yeah,
yeah, yeah, thunderstruck
Yeah
Oh,

Now

Could

Said:
Yeah, it's alright
We're
