Fuzzbox

A last minute cd arrived through the post yesterday, a lovely blast from the 80’s past. Not sure if anyone can remember a band called ‘We’ve got a fuzzbox and were gonna use it’? I managed to get their BBC sessions on cd which includes there earlier hits such as ‘Love is the slug’ and ‘Self’. Fuzzbox never were really musically articulate at all but neither did they ever profess to be, hence the title of the band. Their first album ‘Bostin’ Steve Austin’ met mixed reviews, they were either loved or hated for their quirky style. It’s fair to say they make my beloved 5’6’7’8’s look very talented indeed! Later of course the all girl punky style band from Birmingham became mainstream and had hits in the 90’s with ‘International rescue’ and ‘Pink sunshine’.
