The Nils were from Montreal, Quebec.  In July of 1985 they entered Le Majeure Studio in Montreal to create the EP 'Sell Out Young' which was produced by Stefan Doroschuk of Men Without Hats. His brother Ivan Doroschuk (vocalist for MWH) played keyboards.

A second EP of material demoed in 1984 materialized in 1986 on the Seigfried label.

Their self-titled full-length album was produced by Chris Spedding and was released in 1987 on the U.S Rock Hotel label distributed by Profile Records.

In 1995, a Montreal label called Mag Wheel records re-issued the extra stock from the 1986 Seigfried release with a new sleeve under the title 'Paisley'. In 1998 they also released a pseudo "best of" package called 'Green Fields in Daylight'.

Alex Soria resurfaced in 1999 with a new act called Chino. Their 6-song EP, 'Mala Leche', was also released on Mag Wheel.

In 2009 a split LP with old and new material called 'Now + Sell Out Young!' was issued on Just Fucking Music.

with notes from Jim Hynes and Guy St. Laurent.
