Band Philadelphia United States Formed 1985
Britney Fox formed in 1985 in Philadelphia, United States. Britney Fox has 2 chart appearances on 1 radio countdown from 1 station on RockLists, spanning 1990.

Britney Fox came out of the Philadelphia area in 1985 with loud guitars and a glam metal swagger. Michael Kelly Smith played lead guitar, Johnny Dee manned the drums, Dean Davidson and Tommy Paris each took a turn on lead vocals, and bassist Billy Childs turned out to be the one member present in every lineup the band ever had.
They signed to Columbia, and two songs did the heavy lifting. "Girlschool" is the one everybody remembers, mostly for its music video, while "Long Way to Love", a stomping, raw-throated rocker, crept onto the charts as a minor hit. Paris came aboard on vocals and guitar in 1990, and the band called it quits in 1992.
That wasn't the end of the story. Britney Fox kept coming back, reforming in 2000 and twice more after that, with Paris and Dee still in the ranks for the most recent run.
