BED OF NAILZ TIMELINE



2001

Bed Of Nailz, a hardcore band from Westchester County, New York, formed in summer 2001 in White Plains. The original lineup consisted of high school friends Eric Pleska (vocals), Carlos Torres (guitar), and Ed Massena (drums), with local scene member Dan Paprocki joining on bass. They quickly recorded a demo at Pelham's Primetime Studios, engineered by Tarik Solangi.



2002

When Carlos moved to Spain and Ed left for college, the band restructured with Dan switching to lead guitar and adding Mike Conklin (bass) and Tomislav (drums). This lineup recorded "I Had Sex In New Jersey This Morning" and the album "Smash The Mirror" in 2002.

Later that year the band expanded with the addition of second guitarist Pez and roadies Ruben and Rich. The band began performing live throughout the tri-state area, sometimes as headliners and other times as support for larger acts. Bed Of Nailz released various merchandise throughout 2002 and ended the year with the release of the live album "Live At The Journal News Building."


2003

Following Tomislav's return to Croatia and Mike's departure, Ed rejoined the band. The trio of Eric, Dan, and Ed recorded new material at Primetime Studios in Yonkers with engineer Artie Dillon, combining these tracks with the "Smash The Mirror" EP to create "2000s Suburban Hardcore."

Their music gained some radio exposure, beginning with "Summertime Guidos" on 88.1 FM college radio, which was first played by DJ Robbie Gunnz in 2002, as they continued performing throughout the year.
