So-Cal abrasive hardcore trio Nails will release ‘You Will Never Be One Of Us’ on June 17th via Nuclear Blast. The title track has been released today as a video too.
Vocalist & guitarist Todd Jones release this statement to accompany the video:
“‘You Will Never Be One Of Us’ is the title track and also the opening track from our new album. I can’t deal with trying to write some clever, witty, or whatever type of descriptive garbage filled with barbs about how our band is awesome and other bands suck (which is absolute peasant bullshit), so I’ll cut to the chase. This is to date, our favourite song. It’s a song which represents almost every side of NAILS. When it comes time to announce a record, it’s really difficult for us to pick the first song to let the world hear because any NAILS record to date is more about the LP as a whole and not 1 song really represents the full LP, but I can say with no hesitation, this song represents this LP and we’re confident that we should be releasing this song first. ‘You Will Never Be One Of Us’ is about about the pain and the pride that goes into being involved in hardcore/punk/metal unconditionally…being a lifer. It’s a knife to the throat of the people who come and litter their bullshit and impose on everyone for their own selfish agenda. It’s for everyone who dedicates themselves to their craft…their music…their passion…whatever the fuck it is, and seeing someone come along and attach themselves to what you do/love and abuse it, with no regard or respect for it. This song is not for NAILS, but for all of US.”
Album pre-orders are up from today too.
