Is Nails AI?
No — Nails is a real band.
We list 10 live shows for them across 10 venues. AI-generated acts do not book venues, sell tickets and turn up — it is the one thing a generated project cannot fake, and the tell behind every AI band exposed so far.

Everything else we checked
- Live shows 10 shows listed at 10 venues, 7 of them upcoming. A generated act does not book venues and play them.
- Back catalogue Releases go back to 2010, before generative music tools were usable.
- Audience 130,738 followers — people who chose to follow, not just listeners a playlist delivered.
- Release pattern 9 releases spread over 13 years or more — a normal working pace.
- Presence elsewhere We hold no website, Bandcamp or social links for this act — though we may simply never have collected them.
- MusicBrainz Could not reach MusicBrainz for this check.
Some of these checks may look inconclusive on their own — a band can be missing from MusicBrainz or release quickly. They do not change the answer. The gig history settles it.
