Nails frontman/guitarist Todd Jones is no fan of ‘Record Store Day‘, an event which is often held annually two times a year, with the standard ‘Record Store Day‘ taking place in April and a ‘Black Friday‘ version being held in November. Tomorrow, April 16th, marks the first ‘Record Store Day‘ event of the year, and as per usual, a ton of special releases are planned. The event is meant to celebrate independent record stores, driving traffic to the mom and pop stores and celebrating music. For Jones though, it just means that the glut of vinyl releases just bogs down production of album’s for bands who regularly release vinyl. He told Teamrock.com”

“I don’t fuck with Record Store Day at all, I hate Record Store Day. It’s completely fucked over things for regular bands – go ahead and have your multi-colored vinyl reissues you fucking poseur. The fact is that when [Nails‘ 2013 album] Abandon All Life came out before the pressing plants were backed up, we handed our record in to Southern Lord on January 15 and our record was out by March 20. For [upcoming album] You Will Never Be One Of Us we handed everything in to the record label on January 20 and our record’s not coming out until June 17. Why? Because of fucking Record Store Day, that’s why.” - Advertisement - “All you people out there that love Record Store Day have fun with your stupid multi-colored vinyl, but all your favorite bands’ records are taking six months longer because of all that poseur bullshit. That’s what it comes down to.”

Nails released the music video for the title track from their new album “You Will Never Be One Of Us” earlier today, April 15th. You can find it here with the album set for a June 17th release date on Nuclear Blast Entertainment.
