Re: How the Rezillos/Revillos got their name

A footnote at the end of this article contains a bit of trivia I never knew, despite having a framed copy of the comic being discussed hanging on my wall.

That was worth peering into, just to learn that there's a Rezillos box set on Cherry Red. Thanks Reno!

The Rezillos, a Scottish punk rock band formed in the late 1970s, derived their name from a clever play on words inspired by the term "resilient," emphasizing their upbeat and energetic music style. Additionally, the name was influenced by the American rock band The Revillos, which later emerged as a related group featuring some of the original members of The Rezillos. This playful connection reflects the band's unique identity and their influence on the punk scene, blending pop culture references, including comic books and other media, that resonated with their creative ethos.

I think AI just took over TP.

AIfiewoodward, can you ask our computer overlords how the Mekons got their name?
