Check out this little lost gem from an old 80’s band called “Britney Fox”. I heard this on the radio a few days ago and I gotta tell ya that I hadn’t heard this song since the 80’s. If you’re a true 80’s rock fan, you’ll love the killer guitar riff in this song! I remembered why I liked them so much. It appears there is somewhat of a revival/resurgence happening with this music due to interest from the internet. I think it’s from parents who grew up in the 80’s who are holding on to the music and passing it on to their kids. Yes!!
These guys were a glam metal band from Philadelphia that formed in 1985. They were originally fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist "Dizzy" Dean Davidson. They were active from 1985 to 1992 and are best known for this hit song "Long Way to Love” (U.S. #100).
The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1988, was one of the most successful premieres of the 1988-89 season, selling more than one million copies. They were also awarded the 1988 Reader's Choice Award for Best New Band from Metal Edge Magazine. After the release of the band's second album in 1989, Davidson left to form another band.
Unfortunately, popularity of glam metal was on a decline around the time of the group’s 3rd album release due to the rising grunge movement. Pearl Jam/Nirvana anyone?
They disbanded in 1992, reformed in 2000/2001 (not all original members) and in 2010, Dizzy Dean Davidson attempted to reunite the original line up.
Who knows, they just might come to a stage near you!
