Britny Fox formed in 1985 in Philadelphia. The band was originally fronted by lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist “Dizzy” Dean Davidson.
The band released a demo titled In America in 1986, which drummer Tony Destra reportedly played on. The band’s self-titled debut album, released in 1988, was one of the most successful premieres of the 1988-89 season, selling more than one million copies and bringing more than 625,000 fans to their 130+ shows. They also won Metal Edge Magazine’s 1988 Reader’s Choice Award for Best New Band. After the release of the band’s second album in 1989, Boys in Heat, Davidson departed, and formed the band Blackeyed Susan. He was replaced by Las Vegas native Tommy Paris. Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde and Poison drummer Rikki Rockett guested on the band’s third album, Bite Down Hard, which was released in 1991. However, the popularity of glam metal was on a decline around the time of the album’s release due to the rising popularity of the grunge movement. Britny Fox disbanded in 1992.
Michael Kelly Smith was previously in an early version of fellow Philadelphia glam metal band Cinderella until his dismissal, and later Tony Destra also played with them.
Drummer Adam West, formerly of Tangier, played for Britny Fox briefly between the time of Tony Destra and Johnny Dee.
Britny Fox reunited in 2001 with the same line up before their disbandment, and released a fourth studio album, Springhead Motorshark, in 2003. The band has had summer US and European tours in 2007 and 2008. Guitarist Tommy Krash and drummer Henry Now joined at that time.

I accidentally found out about this band when I was 12 or something. I tried to download Steel Dragon songs (from the movie Rock Star). Back then I still used Limewire, and it said Six Guns Loaded was by Steel Dragon, so I got that one. Turns out it's not by Steel Dragon xD
