"The Mercury League
have pulled the rabbit out of the hat and come up with one of
the finest collections of melodic hardcore to have come out of
this (or indeed any) country in recent memory and the best thing
about it is that that statement contains not a trace of
unnecessary hyperbole." - www.punktastic.com Reviewed: 20th

Please keep checking this page for more info soon. 1st November 2004 Coffin Nails "Let's Wreck - The Gravest Hits" is finally released on Cherry Red/Anagram Records. Here's a review: "I remember seeing this band years ago at The Klubfoot in London and was immediately impressed with their brand of Psychobilly though I must admit their humour did have something to do with it, as I always found that scene a little too macho on most part! This album is excellent and covers their history from their debut (Ein Bier Bitte) to last album (Hard As Nails) and if Psychobilly is your poison then this is an album you've gotta add to your collection. Some great tracks on here like 'Let's Wreck', 'She's A Moose', 'No Way', 'When I'm Drunk' and 'Girl Next Door'. Even their cover of 'Heartbreak Hotel' is pretty cool. For a band with so many line up changes the main man from the Coffin Nails 'Humungus' can be proud of the original Rock N Roll tunes they've been turning out for years. Buy this album and these guys on tour as they've plans to both Europe and The USA! (Anagram/Cherry Red) 10/10." - Full Frontal Recordings 2004 And here's the track listing: 1.Let's Wreck 2.Uncle Willy 3.Psycho Disease 4.Wind Up Dead 5.Penetration 6.If Only Mother 7.Heartbreak Hotel 8.Coffin Nails 9.Blubbery Love 10.She's A Moose 11.Carling Black Label 12.Skeleton Swamp 13.Inspector Clueso 14.Been Around The World 15.Ooh Aah 16.No Way 17.When I'm Drunk 18.Girl Next Door 19.Neurotic Dave 20.Hard As Nails 21.STD 22.Forbidden Love 23.Freaks Come Out At Night 24.Scared Of The Dark 25.Woke Up This Morning 29th October 2004 Coffin Nails THE STORY OF THE COFFIN NAILS AND THE WRECKERS BALL 2004 (30/10/04): The Coffin Nails agreed and signed to play the Wreckers Ball 8 months before the concert, the Coffin Nails name was used on the advertising for 6 months (the band were a headline act, third on the bill). The flights should have been booked months before the concert of course, but after much chasing the promoter eventually said he would send the money to the band the first week of October (less than a month before the show), so they could book the flights themselves. It didn't arrive, and 10 days before the concert (again, after much hassling) the promoter said it was cheaper to book the flights himself. So the Coffin Nails waited for confirmation, and they waited! Then 4 days before the show, the promoter said the flights were booked and he'd send the booking details etc. The band were of course a bit sceptical at this stage and phoned Virgin Atlantic to check. Guess what - no flights were booked! 3 days before the show the Nails got some flight details through. So they rang Virgin again, the flights were reserved, but were not paid for! Then just two days before the concert the band got an email from the promoter to say "Ok this is not going to work.....it was a big screw up from the beginning." So the Coffin Nails would like to apologise to anyone attending the Wreckers Ball in Los Angeles expecting to see them play, and strongly advise any band promoter, tour agent, or gig goer, to have nothing to do with Manuel Lepe the promoter of the Wreckers Ball. We have also heard similar stories from other bands on the scene about this promoter. Coffin Nails 24th October 2004 Coffin Nails Thanks to all those who went to the Coffin Nails/Nekromantix show at the Boxing Club in Reading last week (the Coffin Nails home towm). Also thanks to Adam at Skatepunk Reading for putting the show on. Humungus was a little worse for ware (or 10 pints of Stella), did anyone notice? The venue was pretty much sold out, and the pit got on their backs and wrecked to Psycho Disease (yeah some of you remember)!!!. Also, there's a couple of new photos added to the website's Hot Rod page! More updates coming soon. 30th August 2004 Coffin Nails The Coffin Nails pley with Demented Are Go, Long Tall Texans and others at Mental Hell's Satanic Stomp in Bochum, Germany. Very busy show it was too. Humungus arrived from the airport literally 10 minutes before show time (what 's a soundcheck anyway?).
