Woods: "Military Madness"

Woods is a new P4k-backed band, but thus far I haven't really been able to get behind them. Nothing there that really grabs me. However, there is one song on there that jumped out at me, as it reminded me of some sort of 70s-era off-the-cuff hippie circle protest song (which I loved). Upon further research, I learned that "Military Madness" is originally a political ballad by Graham Nash (as in Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young), which explains the vibe I was picking up on. Replete with trippy/wah-wahed lead guitar, shambly acoustic rhythm, a folksy bassline, and near-falsetto vocals, it's definitely worth a listen.
