Cleveland, Ohio, United States (1988 – present)

Nine Inch Nails, also known by the acronym NIN (or NIИ), was formed in Cleveland, Ohio, United States in 1988 by Trent Reznor, the only constant member of the band. He is generally credited for popularizing the genre known as “industrial rock”.

Born Michael Trent Reznor, he was raised by his maternal grandparents in Mercer, Pennsylvania, USA. Reznor took up piano at the age of five and in high school took up the tuba and saxophone. During the early to mid 80s Trent played with various synthpop and new wave groups such as Exotic Birds and Option 30 before beginning his solo project. As a member of Exotic Birds, he appeared in the Michael J. Fox & Joan Jett film Light of Day.

Nine Inch Nails has issued eight major albums. With the inclusion of Broken EP, the band’s primary releases are:

1. Pretty Hate Machine (1989)
2. Broken EP (1992)
3. The Downward Spiral (1994)
4. The Fragile (Left) / The Fragile (Right) (1999)
5. With Teeth (2005)
6. Year Zero (2007)
7. Ghosts I-IV (2008)
8. The Slip (2008)

Nine Inch Nails has also produced a number of EP’s, remixes, and provided contributions to various movie soundtracks, including Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,The Crow, Natural Born Killers and Lost Highway. Trent Reznor provided the (largely ambient) soundtrack for the id Software game Quake.

In 2002, a live album (their second live release, the first being the video Closure Documentary) entitled And All That Could Have Been was released on DVD & CD, the Deluxe version of the CD came packaged with a mini album called Still. “Still” features several previously released songs in a stripped down, near-acoustic format, along with several other new compositions.

Everybody is a sellout these days. Even Radiohead. Even that unknown indie-alternative-trash-punk-garage-riotgrrrl band that just released their first EP. As long as you put a price on your music, you're a sellout. Cloudkicker isn't. God bless that guy! <3

I love how the Nine Inch Nails aesthetic is angst and going against the mainstream, but Trent signed off for his music to be used in the Rock Band video game.

NIN fans are assholes because they like ttrent TOO much, even tho he is cool as hell, and they decide to buy all the tour tickets for ninja, and most probably missed street sweeper and left before jane's. srsly we are assholes and the fact we were all extremely pissed that jane's was headlining, way to go assholes. i still ♥ you. i also ♥ me some nuts
