Dirty Linen Magazine

A perfect recording for those who like their Celtic rock loud and proud.

Product Description

The Factory is the most diverse cd ever released by this Florida-based Celtic rock quintet. The tunes ont his disc run the gamut of rock, pop, country, celtic, and hip-hop. Composed primarily of original tunes, lead singer Kirk McLeod's expert songwriting and soft vocals deliver an unforgettable punch. The title track, "The Factory Song," is an anthem for the working world with it's raucous guitar and swooping pipes. Don't miss the equally dramatic ballads "Twelve" and "Sweet Orphan" as well as the pub stomping "The Paddy Set." Nothing about this disc is ordinary, but it will quickly become the frequently played and familiar recording in your library. Order two copies...just in case.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful progressive celtic rock, March 18, 2000

By	[e-mail] (sumter,s.c. usa) - See all my reviews

this band has evolved from the basic bagpipe band to a very polished creative force. connecting the past with the present in a very lyrical and musical format, this band proves that rock and tradition can breathe the same air space. this is a combined musical talent that cannot be ignored by the industry of today's music. there is a true treasure here that should be shared with the masses.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Bagpipes"! Darn right Bagpipes and a tough sound to boot., March 18, 2000

By	Alan D. England (Jacksonville, Florida) - See all my reviews

I first saw Seven Nations in concert 5 yrs. ago. They blew me away with their celtic rhythms and driving beat. The five members of the band consist of Kirk Mckleod-guitar, bagpipes and vocals, Struby-bass guitar,Ashton Geoghagan-drums, Dan Stacey- fiddle, and last but not least Scott Long-Highland bagpipes and shuttle pipes.You put all this together and you have one of the toughest bands since U2. If you're looking for something new and different this is it. You might even drink a pint of Guinness and dance a jig or two yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars First CD I bought after seeing them Live., August 20, 2001

By	A. Reeves "altoid77" (Iowa City, IA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first saw this band in the summer of 2000 at Irish Fest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin... twice. They blew me away. This is the CD I bought there at the Summerfest grounds, because it had the most songs that I remembered from the performance. They even autographed the inside of the cover for me! I've nearly worn this CD out, and even my parents (hard-core Celtic music fans), like it. I especially enjoy, the Factory Song, the Ballad of Calvin Crozier and Twelve, but everything grows on you. I love their sound. I saw them again at Irish Fest this year, and their live shows never disappoint. Hail to the Milwaukee Irish Fest "Arse-kickers" in the downpour!
