STREET DATE: END OF OCTOBER
Oxnard, California's NAILS have signed to Closed Casket Activities, marking the occasion with a new two-song 7" release, Fear Based Life. A brutal statement of intent — and a bridge to the band's fifth full-length, due out Summer 2027.
The signing closes the loop on a relationship well over a decade in the making. On making it official, NAILS said:
“NAILS has been very fortunate to work with great labels. All throughout the band's existence, there's not a bad label that the band have worked with. In fact, they've all been great. A look into the backend of Nails, I've been working with Justin Louden of Closed Casket Activities since 2011. All NAILS decisions regarding tour decisions, business decisions....all the behind the scenes stuff.... we conferred with him to help with perspective and insight regarding how we made our moves and executed the vision for NAILS. There hasn't been a more instrumental asset to NAILS than Closed Casket Activities in the past 15 years. Signing a record deal with Closed Casket Activities is the best move for NAILS and we know this is going to serve NAILS the best for the band's needs. We hope you enjoy our new 2 song "Fear Based Life" single, we will have our fifth LP out Summer 2027. Thank you for supporting NAILS.”
Fear Based Life pairs two new tracks recorded by Andrew Solis, mastered by Nick Townsend and featuring the cover art of Jef Whitehead (WREST), additional artwork by Cavan Hoover, photography by Duran Levinson, and layout and text by Martin Stuart.
On the single itself, the band added:
“NAILS put these 2 songs together November/December 2025. Writing them was a true collaborative effort between the 3 of us. We decided to release them as we thought they complimented each other well together. Jef Whitehead aka WREST did an incredible job with the front cover artwork as well as Cavan Hoover with the inner artwork. The photography was done in Berlin, Germany by Duran Levinson. The layout and text was completed by our friend Martin Stuart. It was a great experience putting this release together and working with everyone who collaborated on it including Closed Casket Activities. We hope you enjoy it.”
