Old Song In New Bottles

In 1978 The Rezillos released their first record Can't Stand The Rezillos, a classic record by the upcoming punk/new wave era. Probably they were one of the first bands covering songs from the long gone by 60's. It was unusually in these early days paying references to songs most of them raised with. The songs were all dominated by raging guitars, drifty rhythms and singalong lyrics. These both covers by Fleetwod Mac and Dave Clark Five showed the great abilities of this unforgotten Edinburgh band.

The Rezillos - Someone's gonna get their head kicked in tonight
The Rehillos - Glad all over
