The band was founded in 1978 by then 12-year old Alex Soria with his brother Carlos Soria. The band never achieved widespread fame despite critical success and a following amongst other musicians in the genre. "... but what surprises me most is how many I run into, or hear from, who say they loved the Nils or were directly influenced by them. The Goo Goo Dolls, Superchunk, Jawbox, Meat Puppets, Down By Law, Bob Mould and many of the power-pop punk bands(too many to name), all rave about the Nils."[1] The Nils started in 1978[2] and played their first shows in 1980. They recorded a demo, which caught the attention of BYO Records who asked them to record the song "Scratches and needles" for the Something to Believe In compilation. The band broke up shortly afterward but Carlos Soria convinced his brother to keep the band going and joined the group on guitar. The Nils then recorded the song "Call of the Wild" for the Primitive Air Raid compilation on Psyche-Industry Record. The label also accepted to release the band's first EP, Sell Out Young, that they recorded in 1985 using a 3 500 $ loan they got from Men Without Hats singer and founder Ivan Doroschuk.[3] Doroschuk produced the record.[4] One year later, they released their untitled EP, which would later be known as "Paisley" on Siegfried Records. In 1986, the Nils got an offer from Rock Hotel Records, a subsidiary of Profile Records, and recorded their self-titled LP produced by Chris Spedding,[5] but in 1988 Rock Hotel went bankrupt and The Nils got into legal problems when the record label wouldn't give them their release forms. The Nils broke up again in 1994, reuniting for some shows in Montreal during the 1990s. Alex then moved to Ontario and formed the band Chino[4] and released a solo record. In 1994 the Nils released "Green Fields in Daylight", a compilation of early recordings. On December 13, 2004, Alex Soria committed suicide.[6] In 2010, Real Big North Records released an album of unreleased Nils tracks, while Carlos and the other former Nils members started to jam again as the Nils. Alex Soria (1966–2004) was a rock and roll musician from Montreal[1]. He was in the punk rock groups "The Nils" (1978–1994) and "Chino" (1999). Alex Soria also released a solo album "Next of Kin". Born in Montreal in 1966, Alex Soria had a rather rough childhood. Alex's mother left home on his older brother's 18th birthday. Alex Soria died in the December of 2004. To this day, Alex Soria is remembered as a great musician and song writer. Alex's older brother Carlos Soria played in several punk bands during the late 1970s. He would bring home punk records (such as The Clash or Sex Pistols) and play them for his little brother Alex. When Alex Soria was about 13 years old, Carlos bought him an $80 guitar and showed him 3 chords. Alex became a very good guitar player, and by 1979 The Nils were playing shows. They recorded a song "Scratches and Needles" for the BYO compilation "Something to Believe In". The band broke up shortly afterward. Carlos Soria convinced the remaining band members to continue playing, and Carlos joined the group on guitar. The Nils recorded "Call of the Wild" for a Primitive Air Raid compilation, followed by the EP "Paisley". By 1985, The Nils had become friends with Men Without Hats. They gave The Nils a $3,500 loan to record their EP "Sell Out Young" for which the Nils filmed a video for the song "Freedom". In 1986, The Nils accepted an offer from Rock Hotel Records(Profile Records) to record their self-titled LP "The Nils". This album included the songs "Daylight" and "Inbetweens" from Sell Out Young, as well as eight other original songs. Copies can still be found today, but are rare and often in bad condition. 1987 and 1988 are said to be the bands greatest years. Sadly, the good times didn't last. In 1988, Rock Hotel Records went under and The Nils got into legal problems when the record label wouldn't give the band their release forms. In 1994 the Nils released "Green Fields in Daylight", a compilation of early recordings. Green Fields in Daylight included "Call of the Wild", the Nils demo tape "now", "Scratches and Needles", the 4 songs of "Sell Out Young" and "Paisley". The album also included a radio interview with Carlos Soria. In later years Alex, formed the band "Chino". They released the 6 track EP "Mala Leche" in 1999. Chino continued to play shows but never got much attention. Alex Soria's solo album "Next Of Kin" includes several live recordings of Chino. Even though Alex had drug abuse problems, he kept writing songs and recorded several acoustic/unplugged songs. On December 13, 2004, Alex Soria committed suicide. He was 39 years old. Musicians around the area held a tribute in his name. Alex Soria's The Nils are recognized by many as starting the punk movement in the Montreal area. Soria influenced countless musicians and bands, not just in Montreal. His lyrics and melodies were genius, his guitar playing powerful. Alex Soria's name lives on after his death as a great musician, song writer, and a pioneer of punk rock.
