The Rezillos were a Scottish New Wave band that released the 1978 Sire album Can’t Stand The Rezillos, surrounded by the singles “I Can’t Stand My Baby,” “(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures,” “Destination Venus,” and the UK Top 20 hit “Top of the Pops.”
After their collapse, singer Fay Fife and multi-instrumentalist Eugene Reynolds formed The Revillos, which released multiple singles and two albums: Rev Up (1980, DinDisc/Virgin) and Attack! (1982, Superville).
Rezillos guitarist Jo Callis became a keyboardist in the Dare/Hysteria lineup of The Human League, co-writing the hits “Don’t You Want Me,” “Mirror Man,” and “(Keep Feeling) Fascination.”
