WE'VE GOT A FUZZBOX AND WE'RE GONNA USE IT
The flamboyant look of Fuzzbox and their savvy meld of new wave and punk a la the Go-Go's with fuzztone made the British band indie rock darlings for a time. Allmusic gripes that, if anything, they don't use their fuzzbox enough; but I was always satisfied. We've Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use It includes mostly cool original songs but also a cover of the fuzz classic "Spirit in the Sky"; the song was originally released by Norman Greenbaum in late 1969, reaching #1 on the British charts, and was a #1 hit in the UK by another British band Doctor and the Medics in 1986.
