About

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 first LP, but Daniel Sant convinced Zack that he should talk to Dave Mandel first. Much to his surprise, Mandel backed the idea of doing there record, and they spent the money that they had saved up for there first LP on an '89 Dodge Ram Van.
