Victoria Perks On Fuzzbox Fame And The Book That Sparked A New Era

We sit down with Victoria Perks to trace how Fuzzbox went from Birmingham school friends “forming for a laugh” to chart success, touring, and a legacy that still surprises her.  We talk honestly about sexism, branding, major-label pressure, and why she’s still building new projects through music and well-being work.  • Fuzzbox’s origin story, reunions, and the biography that opens a new chapter  • Where the name “Fuzzbox” comes from and why it landed differently in the US  • The reality of being an all-girl band in the 80s, including misogynistic interview culture  • Pride in being musicians who play instruments and in Birmingham’s creative roots  • Indie freedom versus major-label resources, costs, and image fights over styling and promo  • Growing up fast, managing “branding,” and how fame changes the day-to-day  • Fan stories that show how music can spark real life change  • What to listen to first, plus “we made it” moments like the charts and Top Of The Pops  • Touring health, protecting your voice, and the grind behind the glamor  • What’s next: 40th anniversary plans, festivals, book events, and the BuzzFox solo project  If you haven't already, take a quick second to tap the follow button. It really helps the show reach more people who love music and entertainment.  INTRO/OUTRO Music: T. Wild Mantor Music BMI
