Nails shape Dollar Bin Generation and Fear Based Life
Todd Jones, a name synonymous with hardcore intensity, launched the Oxnard band Nails in 2007. Following his legendary contributions to bands like Carry On and Terror, Jones quickly established Nails as a force within the hardcore landscape, carving out a reputation for being one of the most brutal and extreme acts in the scene.
Nails doesn’t just operate within hardcore boundaries; they push them to the absolute limit. The band masterfully pulls in ugly, guttural influences from heavier realms such as death metal and grindcore, weaving these elements into a sound that remains firmly rooted in hardcore authenticity. This unique blend defines their aggressive and visceral sound.
The intensity of their musical direction is particularly evident in their latest work. Their two new songs showcase this blend of raw aggression and heavier influence, delivering a sound that is both uncompromisingly extreme and undeniably hardcore.
