This guy said it best... so here it is!

Powerful foursome from Springfield, IL, N.I.L.8 debuted in 1989 with their first vinyl record featuring "Last Flash of Paisley Pastel" and "Too Loud," followed by the self-produced Six Inch Extension in 1991. Led by brothers Jeff Williams and Bruce Williams, the band signed up to Fundamental Records before issuing Hallelujah I'm Gonna Kill Myself in 1993. N.I.L.8 started getting involved in the U.S. hardcore punk field, performing intense live shows with songs mainly based on social issues. 1995's Eunuch became their first Fuse Records release, followed by the reissue of Hallelujah I'm Gonna Kiss Myself in 1996 and Doug a year later.

most def stoked about the word back. if you dont find any resources that are convienant for your band just let me know and i might be able to locate a venue and some other bands to preform. maybe even the feramones would come back for a little reunion tour or something. (they were on the set list last trip to danville)..
welp hope all works out wonderfully

much love

Dude, what about "Mind Evulsion"? That thing never comes out of the stereo at the Gigantic Jones & Treasure domicile.

Of course, the tapedeck ate it back in 1991 and we've never been able to figure how to open the damn thing and get it out of there.

But still: primo stuff.
