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)
