Comments vocalist/guitarist Todd Jones: "'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 favorite 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 liter 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. "As far as the video goes, we needed something that represented us and wasn't fake. The world really doesn't need another 'band playing in a warehouse' music video, but again, without being condescending with some passively aggressive description and putting other videos down, we believe this video not only stands out as far as quality and expression, but represents us in the best possible way that a music video could. It conveys the emotions that you might experience from us if you come to one of our shows. This video shows what we are, doing what we do in this band. No pretense, no overblown image, no bullshit, no gimmicks, no artificial/cheap attention grab. This video IS Nails. Fucking period." Nails - You Will Never Be One Of Us cover artwork "We hope you guys dig this shit. We worked really hard on everything with the LP. Wrest did the artwork which is undoubtedly the best representation Nails has had so far for an album cover, the video you're seeing/hearing...everything. This record represents Nails more so than any of our other records. You Will Never Be One Of Us is the epitome of Nails to date. It is our apex (up to this point). We know if you're already a fan of the band that you'll love this record. If you've never heard of us before, we appreciate you checking this shit out. 'OUR PAIN IS NOT YOUR PAIN, OUR PRIDE IS NOT YOUR PRIDE - YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US'. Much love and respect." You Will Never Be One Of Us was recorded, mixed and produced by Kurt Ballou (Converge, High On Fire). Artwork was created by WHTHD. Pre-order the album in CD or vinyl format, with or without several bonus items, from the Nuclear Blast web shop. Pre-order the album digitally right now through iTunes or Amazon and receive the title-track instantly. You Will Never Be One Of Us list: 01. You Will Never Be One Of Us 02. Friend To All 03.

anonymous 4/15/2016 8:31:58 AM

Song is good, but really? Do you want to be pretentious when your entire reason for existence is to be a cut-rate Brutal Truth clone?

anonymous 4/15/2016 8:39:03 AM

Jonny Craig issues statement: 'Yo these cats are the real deal they r so sick but Pete Jackson needs sum cheddar to get KWD touring and dropping a new record soon.'

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:11:42 AM

From that pretentious ass press release you can def tell this poser came from the hardcore scene.

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:25:23 AM

Just skip that press release, Nails thinks they are the realest of the reals and don't like other people who aren't as real as them because they clutter up all the real space with their gross fakeness.

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:32:55 AM

"Hey guys I don't wanna rip off minor threat anymore, I think I'm gonna start ripping off brutal truth then act like I created and run that genre "

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:43:27 AM

that artwork is so fcking cool and i love nails

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:47:06 AM

fck. yes. can't wait. But I'm not reading all that, no way.

anonymous 4/15/2016 10:49:48 AM

Pretty pretentious statement for a bunch of posers who got into metal a few years ago.

anonymous 4/15/2016 12:32:28 PM

"Hey guys I don't wanna rip off minor threat anymore, I think I'm gonna start ripping off brutal truth then act like I created and run that genre " Ok that was funny. And I like Nails and thought that was funny and fairly accurate.

anonymous 4/15/2016 12:36:35 PM

Good song but I don't get how nails was ever a hardcore band...? Also why do hardcore kids like bands like this soo much but shit on death metal lolol..

anonymous 4/15/2016 9:40:41 PM

This level of douchebaggery can only be the product of Todd Jones and his arrogant ass imagination. All of the cool elements this band has, are ruined by this milk colored IT nerd, the man t-ts drummer, and the allergic to shirts bass player. Metal for the suburbs.

anonymous 4/15/2016 9:54:38 PM

Straight Edge arrogance translated to suburb safe metal.

anonymous 4/16/2016 4:43:28 AM

sounds like phil anselmo

anonymous 4/16/2016 7:23:13 AM

YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US BR000000000000

anonymous 4/16/2016 10:35:49 AM

Wow that paragraph gave me the douche-chills. Is this song an up-their-own-ass poser warning? Too bad.

anonymous 4/16/2016 11:12:23 AM

lift five pound weights to this and reward yourself after with an angriest whopper you fat fck

anonymous 4/16/2016 12:38:35 PM

anonymous 4/16/2016 1:40:20 PM

anonymous 4/16/2016 4:09:33 PM

The anti nails hype is so cringe, grow up ''ooo its popular i hate it''

anonymous 4/16/2016 4:27:18 PM

Or maybe people just think this overrated band sucks?

anonymous 4/16/2016 8:38:06 PM

YOU CAN'T SIT WITH US

anonymous 4/16/2016 8:42:17 PM

YOU WILL NEVER SIT WITH US

anonymous 4/17/2016 12:37:36 AM

Assück and brutal truth are not stoked

anonymous 4/17/2016 4:24:17 PM

Listen to real grind/crust/metal than these imitators. Suburban hardcore dorks trying to be punk.

anonymous 4/17/2016 4:58:41 PM

Chad J. Fjerstad and this band suck doggy balls

anonymous 4/17/2016 8:06:06 PM

Jock/Fvck boy punk in full effect.

anonymous 4/18/2016 1:54:34 AM

pretentious wank fest. Weak rubbish from try hard momma's boys

anonymous 4/18/2016 5:48:22 AM

WHERE THE SABA?

anonymous 4/18/2016 5:43:57 PM

07. In Pain is a song about rear sex, and the album title refers to being homosexual

anonymous 4/19/2016 5:22:32 AM

I hope you were all sexually abused as children.

anonymous 4/19/2016 6:15:06 PM

who cares? fck these posers. Kooks have a long-hair in the band anyhow. Bassist plays shirtless? C'mon dudes, just call it quits.
