Box Frenzy is the debut album from UK based Grebo band Pop Will Eat Itself. It was released in 1987 by Chapter 22 Records in the UK and Rough Trade Records in the US, and re-released in 2003 with bonus tracks by Castle Records.

The track "There Is No Love Between Us Anymore" samples the songs "When I Fall In Love" by Nat King Cole, and "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" by The Righteous Brothers. Their better-known track "Hit the Hi-Tech Groove" not only samples the techno-disco song "Respectable" by Mel & Kim, as well as the Whistle song "Just Buggin'," but defiantly boasts that the band steals (though they actually sample) as many varieties of sounds that they can get to make their music, ranging from other people's songs to television soundbites.

At the end of 1987, NME ranked the album at number 49 in their list of the top 50 "Albums of the Year". Q also included it in their unordered list of the year's 50 best albums. In 2005, The Word included the album in the second part of its list "Hidden Treasure: Great Underrated Albums of Our Time."
