The Rezillos are a punk/new wave band formed in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1976. Although emerging at the same time as other bands in the punk rock movement, the Rezillos did not share the nihilism or social commentary of their contemporaries, but instead took a more light-hearted approach in their songs, preferring to describe themselves at the time as "a new wave beat group". Their songs are heavily influenced by 1950s rock and roll, 1960s English beat music and garage rock, early 1970s glam rock, with recurring lyrical themes of science fiction and B movies; their influences mirrored those of US bands the Cramps and the B-52s, who were starting out at the same time. The Rezillos' biggest hit in their home country was the UK Top 20 single "Top of the Pops" in 1978, but they are best known o

  • The Rezillos ist eine Punkband, die 1976 in Edinburgh gegründet wurde. Die Musiker sind Autodidakten an ihren Instrumenten. Beeinflusst vom Glamrock spielten sie häufig Coverversionen, hatten aber auch eigene Hits, die sie in die Top 20 der britischen Charts brachten. Die Band löste sich im Dezember 1978 auf, formierte sich im Jahr 1979 neu unter dem veränderten Namen The Revillos und trat bis Mitte der 1990er Jahre immer wieder mit wechselnder Besetzung auf bis die Mitglieder wieder getrennte Wege gingen. Seit dem Jahr 2001 tritt die Gruppe erneut als The Rezillos in Erscheinung. Seitdem spielen sie regelmäßig im Vereinigten Königreich, in Europa und in Übersee. 2015 wurde ihr Album Zero veröffentlicht. (de)

The Rezillos' biggest hit in their home country was the UK Top 20 single "Top of the Pops" in 1978, but they are best known outside the UK for their cover version of "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight", which was featured on the soundtrack to Jackass: The Movie in 2002. Since the Rezillos recorded it, the song has been covered by other punk bands, including Youth Brigade and Murphy's Law. Released in July 1978, the Rezillos' first studio album Can't Stand the Rezillos is considered a classic album of the first wave of British punk, but the group split up four months after its release, following internal arguments about their future direction. After the Rezillos split, the band's guitarist and principal songwriter, Jo Callis, briefly joined a couple of unsuccessful Edinburgh post-punk groups before being invited to join The Human League. He went on to co-write some of The Human League's best known songs during their most successful period, including their biggest worldwide hit, "Don't You Want Me". The Rezillos' vocalists, Eugene Reynolds and Fay Fife, formed the Revillos, a group with an ever-changing line-up that continued where the Rezillos left off. The Revillos split up in 1985, briefly reforming in 1994 for a tour of Japan, and again in 1996 for a UK tour. In 2001 the Rezillos reformed after being invited to play at Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations, and have continued to play live ever since, as well as releasing new singles occasionally. (en)
