Another band that should have been huge, imho. Great image, great tunes, great musicianship, but let down by the majority of sheeple having poor taste in music. The Tourists were another band from the same era who should have been huge, but only got huge when they changed their image, musical direction and name and became the Eurythmics.

Completely agree!!!

[@iandarragh6437]

TOO MANY MONEY GRABERS PROMISING YOU THEY WILL MAKE YOU BIGGER AND A BRIGHT FUTURE THEY WILL GET THEIR CUMMINGS THE SONNER THE BETTER

[@stepheng8779]

The bass on the Can't Stand the Rezillios album is absolutely stunning.

[@kennethnorman8079]

Saw the Rezillos reunion tour at the 2015 Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and they were on the smaller stage and fucking incredible.

[@brucehartnell1475]

Faye Fife was my dream date for years!!! Finally got to meet her and the rest of the band in 2012 in Germany when I was on tour with DOA and we played at the same festival.

[@speedycc44]

The first time i saw them was in Grangemouth about 1978 and more recently in Glasgow in 2023, still the same and just as brilliant.

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

Love the Rezillos… their debut album is an absolute stunner, every track a corker with no filler. Saw them last weekend at the Assembly Rooms in Islington & they were phenomenal… so good to have them still touring! ❤

[@untitled.studios]

We were there too!!😁

[@SLADDYBADFAST]

That’s Can’t Stand the Rezillos

[@MrEdsTheRef]

Nice potted history of one of the best punk era bands of all time. Still play their music and never get tired of them😊

[@jerrybailey5797]

Fantastic retro Sci-fi band both as the Rezillos and the Revillos , I was a shame they split up as the Rezillos in 1978 . But great to see them get back together when they did

[@untitled.studios]

Still gigging!!

[@matthewharty6531]

Great band

[@donholl]

Some friends and I travelled to Chicago to see the Revillos. We were so fascinated by Eugene's fabulous pompadour that we asked for/received permission to gently touch it - like it was some sacred garment, or such. Thanks for the recollection.

[@neilgodfrey6578]

I saw them in Eric's when I was 15 as the Revillos, one the best experiences of my young life, that debut Rezillos album is one of the best by anyone ever.

[@earthski321]

Genuinely didn't recognise Eugene without wraparounds in the "Motorbike Beat" clip! Saw them around (gulp) 40 odd years ago... glad to see they're still going.

[@bosukonobicchi]

Big up Nicky Forbes

[@enriqueciancas7253]

One of the funniest bands I´ve ever seen alive. I have assisted to two concerts in Madrid ( actually there were the Revillos but who f****cks matters). They are GREAT !

[@firefoxsonico5427]

Me gusta rezillos igual que de lurkers,slaugter and the dogs🔥

[@reasonsreasonably]

Never heard of them, but I like this! How cool!!

[@frenchabortion]

Fantastic job

[@1956Jambo]

Brilliant! Picked the first album out of my older brothers record collection in the 70s based on the sleeve alone, and was blown away by the energy… almost 45 years later it still sounds amazing… and they are still delivering live…. wish this documentary was 2 hours longer! 🔥🚀

[@untitled.studios]

Can't Stand The Rezillos! Brilliant album!

[@stephendallison1465]

Im thinking of going to leeds, lincoln and Edinburgh to them but as i live in Nottingham does anyone know of any bnb or cheap hotel for me to stay the nite. Much appreciated and thanks for the output take care

[@leaedt7614]

They were like a sped-up version of the B52s.

[@brmg262]
