Bad Copy

Seattle Psych-shredder guitarist Johnny Nails has released a new album, Savor The Blood, via Killroom Records. Tracked mid-pandemic with a crew of Seattle heavyweights, the album is loud, loose, and locked in.

A multi-instrumentalist endorsed by Gibson, Johnny Nails (Ryan Leyva) grew up absorbing everything from jazz to punk to pop-radio earworms, cutting his teeth with Michael Shrieve’s Tangletown before building a globe-trotting career backing grunge heroes, Idol pop stars, hip hop legends, and more.

Nails is backed by a powerhouse lineup of Andy King (drums), Aldo Galatioto (guitars), Mike Sparks (bass), Billy Stover (keys), with Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Minus The Bear) engineering and mixing, and mastering by Ed Brooks. The LP also features album art by Radjaw and photography by Monique Robert, rounding out a true family affair.
