Nails have inked a new deal with Closed Casket Activities. The band's first release through the label is a new EP titled “Fear Based Life.” That effort includes the title track and “Dollar Bin Generation.” The EP is currently available digitally and will receive a vinyl release on October 9.
Nails commented:
“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.”
They also 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.”
