Everyone who knows The Nils loves The Nils. Formed in 1978 by a then twelve-year-old Alex Soria and his brother Carlos, the Montréal power-punks are regularly name-checked by acts such as Superchunk, Meat Puppets and Jawbox as a very early influence. Although The Nils played shows from the early 80s onward, they only released two EPs and a single album before breaking up in 1994. Alex’s suicide in 2004 didn’t stop the remaining members from reforming for 2010′s critically acclaimed The Title Is The Secret Song and – if fortune swings back in their favour – they should be rightfully heralded as pioneers for a second generation.
