Britny Fox

Britny Fox is a glam metal band that stormed out of Philadelphia in the mid-1980s, flaunting big hair, flashy riffs, and a gritty rock ’n’ roll swagger. Founded by vocalist Dean "Dizzy" Davidson, guitarist Michael Kelly "Snake" Smith (aka "Snake"), bassist Billy Childs, and drummer Tony "Stix" Destra (later replaced by Johnny Dee), the band dropped their self-titled debut in 1988. Tracks like the anthemic "Girlschool" became instant staples of the era, blending raspy vocals with sleazy, melodic hooks. Their follow-up, *Boys in Heat* (1989), doubled down on their party-hard image, though lineup shifts and the shifting ’90s rock landscape led to changes, including Davidson’s departure and new singer Tommy Paris stepping in for albums like *Bite Down Hard* (1991).

Though Britny Fox never quite reached the stratospheric fame of peers like Poison or Cinderella, they carved a loyal following with their high-energy live shows and unapologetic homage to ’80s excess. Decades later, their music still resonates—evidenced by re-releases like the *2023 Remaster* of their debut—keeping their leather-and-spandex legacy alive for new generations of rock fans.
