"Blow My Fuse" is the title track of the fourth Kix album, which Atlantic released on September 6, 1988, and it's Donnie Purnell's baby from start to finish: he wrote the music and the lyrics, plays bass and keyboards, and adds backing vocals alongside drummer Jimmy Chalfant. Steve Whiteman sings lead, and Brian Forsythe and Ronnie Younkins handle the guitars.
Tom Werman produced it, Duane Baron engineered, and Baron mixed it with John Purdell. The album's one real hit turned out to be a different song, the power ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes", written with help from Bob Halligan Jr. and Crack the Sky frontman John Palumbo. The record had staying power all the same: the RIAA certified it platinum in 2000.
