Backstory:
Full Nail was conceived in the bustling musical hub of Austin, Texas, during the summer of 2007. The band was formed by college roommates, vocalist and guitarist, Josh Nolan and drummer, Steve Parsons. After a chance meeting at a local record shop, the duo picked up bassist Alex Granger, who added a unique element to their sound. From playing in their garage to performing at local gigs, the band’s relentless energy and captivating performances quickly won the hearts of music lovers.
In the years that followed, Full Nail honed their musical style, influenced heavily by the rock and blues of their home state. They eventually signed with an independent record label in 2012 and released their debut studio album, which was critically acclaimed for its raw, authentic sound and compelling lyricism.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C
Wake up with rusted chains,
Am B7
Tired hearts filled with pain.
Em C
Head is filled with haze,
Am B7
Living in yesterday’s daze.
(Chorus)
G D
Break free, shed your rusted chains,
Em C
Let’s defy these hearts in pain.
G D
With a rebel yell and a righteous gain,
Em C
Break free, lose your rusted chains.
(Verse 2)
Em C
Dusk falls, we remain,
Am B7
In the echo of a forgotten refrain.
Em C
A song sung in vain,
Am B7
Trapped within these rusted chains.
(Chorus)
G D
Break free, shed your rusted chains,
Em C
Let’s defy these hearts in pain.
G D
With a rebel yell and a righteous gain,
Em C
Break free, lose your rusted chains.
