Nexus 6 was a hardcore band from Half Moon Bay, California who were only briefly active in the 90s. Featuring members of Funeral Diner, I Wrote Haikus About Cannibalism In Your Yearbook and Portraits Of Past; the band released a split 12" with Funeral Diner and a 5-song CD (with a live set as the 6th track) both posthumously in 1999.

Filling in the gap after Portraits Of Past's demise and before Funeral Diner's reign; Nexus 6 is an overlooked gem. You can definitely hear similarities to Portraits Of Past and Funeral Diner in their work but they're by no means the same. Three of their members did vocals as well as played bass and guitar which makes for an interesting, layered sound. Despite featuring members of such prolific hardcore bands, I hear Nexus 6 spoken about very little.
