The Nilz - Kiss Me, My Executioner EP Review

The Nilz - Kiss Me, My Executioner



The Nilz are a 4 piece grunge punk outfit from Dublin. The band is made up of Eddie Nil, Chris Nil, Sailor Boi and Gimp Boi. Following on from their debut EP "The Nilz Made Me Do It" released in 2016, they return with another EP "Kiss Me, My Executioner". The former featuring serial killer Richard Ramirez on the cover and the latter featuring serial killer Aileen Wuornos on the cover. Notice a trend?

The 6 track EP clocks in at 13 minutes meaning it is very short, very fast and very punk.
"Hands Up, Who's High?" is a rip roaring track about drugs, wonderful delicious drugs. Ketamine, Speed, LSD, Blow, Ecstasy, Booze, DMT. All the lads get a mention.
"Leaking" has a System Of A Down quality to it, especially when you read the lyrics to the song.
"Ready To Kill" is a brilliant all out assault on the Catholic Church. Some of the lyrics are particularly scathing: "You're still raping kids with crosses, Want to sodomise you, teach you who the boss is".
"OMGFT" which stands for Oh Monarchy Go Fuck Thyself features an amazing lyric: "Sometimes anti social, always anti fascist we give the middle finger to all the upper classes". Songwriting at it's best right there.

Kiss Me, My Executioner is an excellent EP with powerful messages of hatred and disillusionment for the Church, Government and Monarchy. I eagerly anticipate the next EP both for the music and to discover what serial killer will grace the cover. It's almost like you want to collect them all.

The EP is available to download from the band's Bandcamp page: The Nilz Bandcamp

She is also a part of the musical wing of Extinction Rebellion. Her influences include T Bone Walker, Amy Winehouse and Leonard Cohen. Whilst working in a bank job that she hated, Logan had a health scare which showed her that life is short and time can't be wasted doing something you hate so that's when her musical journey began. In 2016 she moved to London to compose her own music which she recorded in a fully solar powered studio and through her own independent company meaning that she owns all of the copyright to her music.

Logan J. Parker - Blue Single Review

Logan J Parker is a singer songwriter from Portugal but currently residing in London. Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed her single Cry Cry Cry and now she returns with her latest single Blue. About the song, Logan says " Blue is another sad song I wrote about the lockdown and it's dedicated to my mother and best friend Rita. Without her, I wouldn't be a musician." Watch the video here: Blue is a quirky upbeat jazz track and is Logan's first foray into the ukulele. The happy vibes of the music and Logan's vocal delivery masks the sadness in the lyrics. This song will put you in a  good mood for the rest of the day.  Follow Logan J Parker: Twitter Instagram Facebook Spotify Official Website SoundCloud YouTube

The first to be released will be the band's debut single  No Connection on May 29th. The song was tracked live during the recording session.
