The Nils keept playing music. By 1985 The Nils had become friends with Men Without Hats. They gave the Nils a $3,500 loan to record the e.p. "Sell Out Young." The nils filmed a video for the song "Freedom." Around 1986, the nils got an offer from rock hotel (profile records). The band exepted the offer and recorded there self titled LP "The Nils." This album included the songs "daylight" and "Inbetweens" from Sell Out Young, as well as 8 other origanals. 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 didnt last. In 1988 rock hotel records went under. The nils got into legal problems when the record lable wouldnt give the band there release forms.
