This time, I bring to you a song from the British band, Steel Mill. You would be correct in thinking that Bruce Springsteen played for a band with the same name. But he went on to be a legendary performer that everyone knows everything about. The British band on the other hand, despite putting out a solid debut album, first released in Germany, that landed them with opening opportunities for David Bowie and T-Rex, was never heard from again. In fact, the very liner notes of their reissue asked anyone with information to come forward. Luckily, the band did resurface once they realized they were owed royalties by someone releasing their music without their permission. They recorded a handful of new tracks, but then nothing was heard from them again.

Steel Mill - Summer's Child
I caught a lot of shit for just posting a video last Friday and not elaborating on it. Well, I thought the song could speak for itself. It was a 1969 Danish psych rock song that has these amazing lyrics backed up by just as amazing music, and since it's not American or British, no one cares, so I didn't have much to say.
