Dudebox is seven-song EP cassette tape released by Canadian rock band Billy Talent (under their previous name "Pezz") in January 1995. It was a follow-up to their previous release, Demoluca. The decision to spend money for a professional recording by Dave Tedesco at Toronto's Signal to Noise studio enhanced Pezz' sound dramatically. The EP led the way to Pezz' 1999 underground breakthrough full-length album Watoosh! [1]
