All credit for bringing this forgotten piece of awesomeness has got to go to icoulddietomorrow.blogspot.com, where I found this album. The Nils were a Canadian power-pop/alt-rock band, in a similar vein to Husker Du, but with a much more polished sound more akin to The Smiths or REM. Understandably, there is little on this album that hadn't been done before, but what is clear is that this is a very solid album from start to finish. I am completely confident that had this been released by an already established and acclaimed band, such as The Replacements, it would have been heralded as an '80s alt-rock classic.
