For a long time I've harbored an idea of covering the whole of the Motorhead Overkill album, but with gentle acoustic versions.  Don't worry, I'm not going to, but here's a taster of what could happen.
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity

Brilliant, what a cool cover version. Very nicely played, sung and recorded as well, bravo!

Love the interlocking uke sounds here - it sounds great! Oddly, I get a So You Wanna Be A Rock-'n'-Roll Star vibe from this, probably from the Latin flavor in the percussion (and the uke). Very well done.

If this is representative of how it might turn out, I don't think that would be a bad idea at all. :)

I am thinking it would be bloody brilliant if you were to cover the whole album in this style... it is soooo chilled out. That double bass is badass. Rock on!!

I've totally missed this gem! You've recycled the original so well. Great acoustic version. Thumbjam(?) upright bass works really well on this! Amazing job, Nick!

I'm so glad Kari brought this one up again because I missed it the first time. To say this is an excellent remake is an under statement.....this way more than excellent...nice work ODH!
