===The Rollers: 1979–1980===
At the end of 1978, the band had split with McKeown, then fired manager Tam Paton shortly after, and decided to continue in a more [[New wave music|new wave]], rock-oriented sound. Their name was now The Rollers. South African-born [[Duncan Faure]] joined the band as new lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter. With Faure, the line-up produced three albums: ''Elevator'' (1979), ''Voxx'' (1980) and ''Ricochet'' (1981).<ref name="The Great Rock Discography"/> Following the expiry of the band's Arista contract, none of the releases sold as well as expected, and they stopped touring by late 1981.

''The A.V. Club'' compared ''Ricochet'' to the pop/new wave style of [[The Cars]] and recommended the album be "rescued from obscurity".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/read-this-this-bay-city-rollers-lp-should-be-rescued-f-1798250379|title=Read This: This Bay City Rollers LP should be rescued from obscurity|first=Joe|last=Blevins|website=News.avcluv.com|date=8 August 2016 |access-date=27 October 2018}}</ref>
