Pop Will Eat Itself are an English alternative rock band formed in 1986 in Stourbridgein the West Midlands of England with members from Birmingham, Coventry and the Black Country. Initially known as a grebo act, they changed style to incorporate sample-driven indie and industrial rock. Graham Crabb describes their sound as “electronic, punk, alternative hip-hop, hybrid music for fucking, fighting & smoking cigars”. Their highest-charting single was the 1993 top-ten hit “Get the Girl! Kill the Baddies!”. After initially disbanding in 1996, and having a brief reformation in 2005, they issued their first release in more than five years in 2010.
Box Frenzy is the debut studio album by the English rock band Pop Will Eat Itself. It was released on 26 October 1987 in the United Kingdom by Chapter 22 Records and in the United States by Rough Trade Records.
