Munching on your Fuzzbox
FUZZBOX
I finally left the house today which was good, i managed to go to a few piss/tea bag ridden charity shops to dig the crates and had quite a time! I managed to find a copy of "we've got a fuzzbox and we're not afraid to use it" on 12". The 5-track EP was released in 1986 on Vindalo0 records! I must say i was really surprised with this release. i've heard their other stuff was very very poppy,like top 40 poppy but this is isnt at all!
The thing i like about this record the most is that it sounds a lot like a few bands that are playing the underground punk/electroclash scene around london at the moment! One band inparticular is one band im trying to get played near me right now called LOOK LOOK(dancing boys) (more on this band in another post really soon).
They also have a riot grrl/bubblegum punk feel to them, as well as keeping the 80s rock sound of other female groups like early BANGLES and The go-gos! I guess if it were released now under a different name they'd be huge but at the time i think they seemed to get carried along with the whole hair and fashion thing and never really made it!
"The group featured guitarist/vocalist Maggie dunne, her sister Jo Dunne on bass, vocalist Vickie Perks, and drummer Tina O'Neill, who got together in their hometown of Birmingham, England, in 1985; all were 16 except for 20-year-old Maggie, and none had ever played instruments before. Their eccentric fashion sense, which harked back to the theatricality of the early days of punk, helped gain them notice, and their C-86 appearance raised their profile considerably on the U.K. indie scene." - Allmusic.com
So anyways, Here's a couple of tracks off the EP "we've got a fuzzbox and we're not afraid to use it" for your listening pleasures!
