Can’t Withstand The Revillos
The outlook was grim for Fay Fife and Eugene Reynolds when song-writer/guitarist Jo Callis left Scottish pop-punks The Rezillos after their landmark 1978 album, “Can’t Stand The Rezillos. Rather then retreat, the two lead singers, simply re-christened themselves The Revillos and doubled down on their kitschy mission of making the sound of the Ramones, The B-52’s and The Cramps all crammed into Joe Meeks’ home studio.

“Where’s The Boy For Me/Motorbike Beat”“
(Kind of a repeat but killer versions, even with the brutal editing.)
