Nails

Nails, the uncompromising US grindcore and crust punk band, have carved a distinct path in the heavier corners of live music since their formation in California in 2007. Renowned for their ferocious fusion of hardcore punk and powerviolence, the group, led by frontman Todd Jones, have built a reputation for relentless energy both on stage and in their discography. Their fierce approach is evident in acclaimed releases such as Abandon All Life and You Will Never Be One of Us, with tracks like “Abandon All Life” and “Absolute Control” standing as shining examples of their visceral sound.

In August 2025, Nails headlined Brudenell Social Club, bringing their searing live set to a venue famed for immersive gigs and alternative concerts. The band continues to push boundaries with recent singles including “Imposing Will,” “Give Me the Painkiller,” and “Lacking the Ability to Process Empathy,” all leading up to their new album, Every Bridge Burning, slated for release in late August 2024. Their collaborative projects and genre-defining recordings have cemented their status in the international hardcore punk and grindcore scenes.

For fans of intense live performances and cutting-edge punk, Nails remain an essential name to watch. Keep up with their latest tour dates and announcements, and be sure to follow them for news on future gigs and new releases.
