Biography

Formed in the summer of 1985, the ‘Nails started out with Gra on bass, Toby on drums, Tony on vocals and Humungus on vocals and guitar. The band quickly went from strength to strength and played about 10 shows before being offered a gig at the notorious Klubfoot, and then by releasing two tracks on the infamous Stompin’ at the Klubfoot series of albums.

This resulted in Toby joining the Meteors on drums. His replacement in the Coffin Nails was Dave Ward, one of the bands loyal followers from the beginning.

The next loss to the band came when Tony announced he was moving to the North of England. Good vocalists being difficult to find, drummer Dave stepped in and took over as singer, while Smurf replaced him on drums. Now the line up was stronger than ever!

After brief negotiations in early 1987, Nervous Records offered to release the band’s debut album, Ein Bier Bitte. A huge European tour was organised to promote the release, and both the tour and the album were huge successes.

Everything was going well until February 1988 when Dave Ward’s untimely departure left the band singer-less. That was until Humungus, the band’s guitarist, stepped forward and found that his vocal talents and stage presence made him the ideal front-man for the band. So impressed were Link Records - a hugely successful alternative label - that a new record deal was offered and Fistful Of Burgers, the band’s second studio album, was released at the end of 1988.
