#396 Johnny Nails

Johnny Nails “Savor The Blood” will be fully available to you August 20th, 2025. It was a long time in the making and it’s been done for some time so I’m happy to see it coming out to the world. It was built and recorded during the middle of the pandemic. The songs, sounds, and vibes were influenced by anxiety and insanity but I hope the love pours through to you.

I am an artist that thrives on studio energy. Did it feel good? Keep it. Was it perfect? Who cares?! But when you have a crew like I do first takes are THE TAKES sometimes. “Taking Tea with Crowley” (Side A) was TAKE #1!!! Much to some of our chagrin at first, but I think we are happy with it in the end. I knew it at the last note though it was the one and I can’t imagine it any different now. The album is full of these energies. The subject matter is all over the place. Light and dark. Fuck you. I love you. Goodbye. Hello. You’re a psychopath and it takes one to know one.

Thank you to the amazing Andy King on Drums, Aldo Galatioto on guitars, Mike Sparks on Bass, Billy Stover on keys, Matt Bayles on engineering and mixing, and mastering by Ed Brooks. We all had our part in making this record what it is and I am super proud of the noises we ended up now sharing with the world. Truly one of my happiest times in the studio with this group of people.

Thank you to my dear homie Radjaw for the radical album art, and Monique Robert for making us comfortable in front of the camera.

Thank you to my current band: Mike Sparks, Billy Stover, Gregg Anderson, Jeff Grant for making the songs come ALIVE.

The vinyl is now shipping so please purchase one on the Johnny Nails bandcamp link in the bio to show your support for indie labels and artists!
