The Rezillos: Cold Wars
Ian Birch, Melody Maker, 9 December 1978
"Because Fay and I are going out together, when you have a group argument it invariably gets personal. Things that you dislike about people become unbearable, and things that you like little things become so familiar and enlarged that they eventually drive you away from them. I can see why so many groups split up; if we weren't such good friends we'd have split up by now."
