Their back, reformed and gigging. This is a classic record, Punk/Pop at it's best 'can't stand the Rezillos?? huh we love them!
Format:Vinyl
Vinyl is where these sounds belong. I bought the album in the late 70's and turned on the valves. This was before the audiophile revivial. Even by the poor high fi fidelity of the day the guitar sound on this record stood out as blistering.
The band themselves created a different aesthetic to unafforable Seditionary clothing. Everything was expensive in the late 70's. The 60's clothing lying around discarded in jumble sales and oxfam was waiting to be reborn. Retro had not been invented. New was always best, so literal treasure troves awaited to be plundered.
The mixture of Fay and Eugene's vocals were manic version of Nancy and Lee upended on dexys, instead of THC and sugar. The B52's before their time, they scavenged off jumble sales to pick up discarded 45's. Reshaped by the Revillos karma into new oral sculptures. Connecting to the mainline mojo of the 60's giving the scratches a good french polish to make the music shine. "Glad all over" was reworked for after match dissection, post coitus glow of "I like it".
2000 AD sounded futuristic in 78, the belief the future would be brighter, flashier, instead of a bland copy with a ringtone attached. Flying Saucer Attack another revival of 50's belief, the ever present threat of HG Wells and the War of the Worlds reaching out of the comic book. Dan Dare on rocket fuel. "No" and "It get's me" the rage of adolescence sculpted into the parody of adults.
Top of the Pops is where they landed to blast out a 60's punk rock, a proto palatable version initially until this album appeared. Then it went off kilter into planet weird. A band that had huge subtle influence on vast swathes of kulture, lowbrow, punk, 60's kitsch and kustomising. The Rezillos burnt like a cinder into the thick "tape worm" of rock and roll. In its wake, the living dead were exhumed, the thrash of the 60's. The meandering 70's suddenly found shape and form again looking backward to move forwards.

pure classic pop. we need more like this. there are not many bands about now that make you sing in the car. certainly not mine. a nasty policeman took my licence away. kaiser cheifs seem to be the best of a bad bunch at the moment. and keane. would be ace if they were named after the film of the same name. if you like this, i would recommend "we are puppets" by Tiger and Buzzcocks "Another Music in a Different Kitchen" and loads more. watch this space. and anything by the clint boon experience. merry christmas.
