Nails is an American hardcore punk band from Oxnard, California, known for their raw and uncompromising sound which merges elements of hardcore punk, grindcore, and sludge metal. Formed in 2009 by frontman Todd Jones, formerly of the band Terror, Nails quickly earned recognition in the underground music scene for their intense, brief compositions and aggressive performance style. Their breakneck pacing and relentless riffs are showcased in their powerful releases, with "Unsilent Death" in 2010 marking a significant milestone in their discography.

Over the years, Nails has carved out a niche for themselves with a series of critically acclaimed albums and EPs. The band's reputation for crafting some of the most punishing and bleak auditory experiences was further solidified with the release of "Abandon All Life" in 2013 and the ferocious "You Will Never Be One of Us" in 2016, the latter affirming their place at the forefront of extreme music. Their music, characterized by a no-holds-barred approach and thought-provoking lyrical content, examines the darker aspects of the human experience, resonating with a diehard fanbase that appreciates the unfiltered rawness of their sound. With each release, including the visceral "I Don't Want to Know You" and the anniversary edition of "Unsilent Death," Nails continues to push the boundaries of hardcore, etching their mark into the extremes of metal and punk music.
