Album of the weekend

Britny Fox-Britny Fox

Most cities are known for a type of music. Boston has Ska. New York City has many but punk and hardcore come to mind. LA has glam. Seattle has grunge. Philadelphia, one of the greatest cities in the world doesn't have a distinct music genre associated with it. Britny Fox is a glam band from the late 80's and they never achieved huge success. Of course that doesn't mean they were bad or untalented.They are from Philadelphia.  

Their biggest hit was arguably "GirlSchool" but I don't like that one much. It's not the best song on the album (Long Way to Love and Don't Hide take that spot) and the entire album isn't that innovative. They have a Slade cover (Gudbuy T' Jane) and they didn't seem to understand that covers should be a homage to the original band or attempt to make it their own. It fails in both ways-it's just there, like filler music. The two songs I enjoy don't make the album worth a download but you might enjoy just those two songs.
