Biography

Hardcore band from,

Oxnard, California
United States,

Started in August 1999. The HC scene in Oxnard was at an
all time low, and shows that summer never peaked about 30 or 40 kids.
Zack’s old band had fizzled back in the Spring and it left a real sour taste in
his mouth. He decided to move from vocals to guitar and write every
song, so no matter what members came and went, the band would
persevere.

Zack recruited Ryan Fredette (Vocals), Chris Holden (bass), and Tony
Melino (drums) to start… basically three retards like Zack

who had little skill, but much desire to play. Recorded there demo for
free with friends at the Ghost Chamber in Ventura, CA and it came
out a week before there first show at Lazerstar in Oxnard, CA.

This was the last Lazerstar show ever, but the beginning of a new era
for the Nard. A couple months later they put out our first 7” called “The
Nard Curse e.p.” on Zack’s own label, Camel Clutch. They did there first
NorCal weekend with Kill Your Idols and had a blast. They learned a lot
from them. The first year was an amazing year, and raised a
lot of eyebrows everywhere they went in So Cal, mostly due to the fact
that they brought about 25 friends with us to every show. The year
culminated with a show at the Living Room in Goleta, CA on December
16th 2000, for a show that was documented on the Intense Energy 7”,
that Zack released shortly after.

Ryan and Zack had saved up enough money, and planned to release there
