The Nilz (https://www.facebook.com/thenilzmusic) are the "4 scruffy Irish purveyors of Punk Rock entertainment" from Dublin who featured on here last September with Ginger Jesus, a song that I said would feature on an upcoming album titled Unicorn Hardspots. I predicted the album would be somewhat of a banger and now that it's released I can confirm I was spot on.
It's a raucous affair. 13 tracks of shouty punk rock bursting with energy, this is a band that don't seem to have many quiet, introspective moments. They just seem to want to batter you into submission and I can't fault them for that.
So what's on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show (8pm UK time today https://www.facebook.com/events/267947205331573)? I'm not telling you other than to say tune in and you'll hear another hour's worth of the best new releases, including the song I'm posting today...
They've a new album in the pipeline, it's going to be called Unicorn Hardspots and on the evidence presented from this teaser track, it's going to be somewhat of a banger. Maybe they'll play tracks from it when they share a stage with Paranoid Visions at The Opium Rooms in Dublin on Friday 8th October? https://www.facebook.com/events/897438261207436
The new song is a rip snorter and is accompanied by a video that comes with a graphic content warning. It's called Ginger Jesus...
I'm giving you a heads up today on a new compilation album released by Athlone diy label Deadlamb records that shines a spotlight on some of Ireland's top punk talent. It features tracks by 12 great bands, including the one I'm featuring today, it's titled Lambpaign - Ireland and you can get it on impressive looking green, yellow and black marble vinyl (be quick as there's only a few left) or digitally here ; https://deadlambrecords.bandcamp.com/album/lambpaign-ireland. The acts featured are The Nilz, Audible Joes, Jobseekers, The Gakk, The Jollars, United Bottles, Grit, Nomatrix, The Turn, Deathgrip, The Divils and Shithatt. I've already posted a few of them on here so today I'll highlight a band that hasn't featured before (and I'll play a couple of other songs from the comp on Sunday's show https://www.facebook.com/events/385067092062267/).
The Nilz are from Dublin and formed in 2015. Featuring members of Mongohorn & Septic Pussy the line up on this song is Chris Nil (guitar), Sailor Boi (bass), Eddie Nil (vocals) and GimpBoi (drums). You can check out their 2 eps (The Nilz Made Me Do It and Kiss Me, My Executioner) here : https://thenilz.bandcamp.com/

This is the track that kicks off the Lambpaign - Ireland comp. Fast and furious it certainly packs a punch and it's called Welcome To The Toybox...
See how see how she moves See how the current hits her Touch her black & blue Worship the ground she bleeds on It's the hope that kills you This lady's not for burning Your love is not returning Come inside see what we got Welcome to the toybox It's the hope that kills you Scream all you want you'll never be heard Suffer the sting of the whip and the bite of the spurs Hell is empty all the devils are here Hell is empty all the deils are here
