Couple years back, I belive it was around late-2010, my boy Enrique PRHC aka Kicks told me 2 bands I might check out: All Pigs Must Die and NAILS. I was like "yeah meng I'll do it''... and didn't do the homework. Saw both names coming and going around the websites and didn't pay any interest. Some time later a mutual friend Hector Putrid (like most of the PRHC and overall underground scene in PR knows him) told me about both bands, in the same conversation; I said "NO" just to piss him, and I believe he doesn't know it yet (hahaha) Later on a visit to the Eastcoast went to spend some days with Kicks, in our traditional record hunt he copped lastest APMD record, played to me and I didn't pay attention...I was too deep searching Dancehall partys on Youtube... I believe we got into a friendly-like-blood-bros argumentation around 2011-2012 about APMD and NAILS, something that ended nowhere. A Sunday at the end of December 2013 the topic of "APMD / NAILS" came out again when met with Hector Putrid at which I believe was the last PRHC / metal show of 2013, and chatted again, he told me about some new bands, don't remember the names but I bet were HC-Crust or D-Beat, again I neglected to listen APMD and NAILS, and he again believe I was true in the hate-game... But karma was a bitch, should I say? Last band of the show was a Black metal one, me and "Lion City HC Mayor" Polo decided stay and watch them, 5 minutes later ended up spitted with blood all over my white t-shirt (John Mayer x ALIFE), me and the guy I was talking were like 15 feet away from the actual stage, even that both of us got blood stainned our tees, NO BUENO.
Last Friday I was looking for a particular viral video on Youtube and search results got listed a NAILS set...
Ok, was late-night Friday at home, so I gave it the shot. Hit play and right away something got my attention,something black and red on frontman's feet, he got Bred 1's on stage? Same day of release day fresh out the box? I did try to find if it was that but found no legit validation. Anyways the sneakers were not the point of the entry, just a distraction and something cool considering back in the days, in Thrash, Death Metal and Hardcore sneakers like those were favorites. Going back to the band, NAILS set was crushing, jams were adamantium cookies, and I just laughed because I was missing something mad dope; everytime I talked to Kicks and Hector Putrid about this band came out, they were right, capital letter right.
Things like that happens in our daily grind, we don't pay attention or interest in something just because we're lazy or another not serious reason. Basically the reason I decided to no pay attention to both bands is because felt forced to do it, and when I feel that way I drop it to the Recycle Bin, it's stupid but you gotta accept it, happens.
NAILS got a new (late-pass) fan, Ima be diggin' crates between NYC and Boston / Lowell, Mass for their records soon in my upcoming visit.
