Thursday music corner: The Rezillos are a punk / new wave combo formed around a nucleus of Edinburgh College of Arts students, and have been active since 1976. The band features a playful musical style influenced by 1950s and 1960s rock and 1970s glam. They released two studio albums in their late-1970s heyday, followed by a best-of compilation in 1993 and a comeback album, Zero, in 2015. Their one UK top 40 single was the 1978 release, the cannily-named Top of the Pops. Following the band's initial 1978 breakup, the band's vocalists formed their own alter ego offshoot called the Revillos, which released the 1980 album Rev Up and the successful single Motorbike Beat, which reached number 45 in the UK charts.
(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures was written by the band's guitarist Jo Callis (aka Luke Warm), and appeared on the Rezillos' first album Can't Stand the Rezillos.
