JoBoxers are a British new wave group formed in London, England in 1982 when former Subway Sect members Rob Marche (guitarist), Dave Collard (keyboardist), Chris Bostock (bassist), and Sean McLusky (drummer) teamed up with England-based American singer Dig Wayne (born Timothy Wayne Ball, 20 July 1958, Cambridge, Ohio). Wayne, under the name Buzz Wayne, had previously fronted the New York–based rockabilly band Buzz and the Flyers.

Like Gangbusters is the first studio album by British new wave band JoBoxers, first released in 1983 and featuring five chart singles.

The first single “Boxerbeat”, the group’s anthem, worked its way up the UK charts while the group were the opening act on the Madness ‘Rise and Fall’ tour, reaching number three. It was kept off the top slot by David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Duran Duran’s “Is There Something I Should Know”. The second single was “Just Got Lucky”.
