The Nils - Sell Out Young (1985) and Paisley (1986)


I've been craving more material from this band ever since I stumbled across their 1987 self-titled debut album. The Nils were a Canadian powerpunk (aka powerpop/pop-punk) group active from 1978-1994, who never really got much recognition for their great music; fans of Husker Du's later material (Flip Your Wig specifically, since that's the album that most reminds me of the Nils), or really just anyone who likes catchy punk rock, should be sure to check out these two EPs (as well as their full-length release).
