All these twatty cover versions sung by a single girl on a guitar, usually used in shite ads on the tv, get right on my tits.

Dont Cry is a favourite Guns & Roses song of mine

But you’ve got to love Walk off the Earth. Their stuff is brilliant.

I’m not sure about their dress sense, perhaps @Kopstar could give some advice?
Also the plastic instruments are a bit naf.
They do need a bit more space as well I think.
Otherwise quite good, I like the sound!

ACDC - Bluegrass Finnish version - Hayseed Dixie from Nashville does a similar version.

Thunderstruck - Bluegrass version.
