Restless is a British rockabilly band formed in 1978. The group got their name from the song "Restless" by Carl Perkins. The band performed their first gig in Sudbury in 1980, with Mark Harman as front-man on guitar and vocals, and Ben Cooper on drums; the two shared songwriting duties. After the second album was released in 1984, the band re-organised, dropping Mark's brother Paul on bass to be replaced by Jeff Bayly. The band are credited with being pioneers of neo-rockabilly.
