White Lies & Butterflies



Nailpin is a Belgian band. After scoring big in their own country, with such hits as Endless Conversations, Movin' On and Together, from their debut album '12 TO GO', the boys decided to give the rest of the world a shot. Their performance at the 2004 TMF awards (where lead singer Niko amused the crowd by stripping on stage and prancing around in a thong) caused Avril Lavigne to ask them to open for her on her Japan tour. The band's influences include the bands Mest, Goldfinger, New Found Glory, Homegrown, MXPX and Green Day. At the end of September '05, the band took part in MTV's Road Rally, in which they had to cross the USA from West coast to East Coast, earning their way and scoring shows. After starting in Los Angeles they ended up just beating Dutch competitor Di-rect in New York. When the serie was aired from November to January, it was a great hit. The second Nailpin album White Lies & Butterflies was released in april 2006, while the band toured Japan for the second time. Their newest album 'III' was released in april 2008, and got great reviews. The singles 'The Ending' and 'It's Allright' did good in the charts. Read more on Last.fm.
