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
