A Virginia band whose music channels raw anger through heavy riffs and shouted vocals.
If you want the Nails experience in two songs, try 'You Will Never Be One Of Us' and 'Cry Wolf.' They pretty much sum up what the band does.
Nails matters because they've carved out a specific corner of extreme music that doesn't compromise. Songs like 'You Will Never Be One Of Us' and 'Cry Wolf' deliver their themes of anger and disillusionment with a direct, physical intensity. Their 2010 debut EP 'Unsilent Death' set the tone, and they've kept that same confrontational energy across albums like 'Abandon All Life' and 'Tougher Than the Rest'.
The band formed in Richmond in 2008 around vocalist Todd Jones and guitarist John Gianelli. They've released several albums while maintaining a core sound built on heavy riffs and Jones's vocals, with the lineup shifting around those two over the years.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
