Eddie and the Hot Rods began life in 1976, when four teenagers from Southend on Sea got together, and playing their own style of fast energetic rock'n'roll/r'n'b, were soon a big hit on the London pub scene. Catching the eyes and ears of the music press and the major record companies, they were soon signed up by the legendary Island Records and went on to have three hit albums and four Top 40 UK singles including the Top 10 hit 'Do Anything You Wanna Do'. There have been numerous TV appearances worldwide and they have filled almost every major venue in the UK. A success in the USA too, they have toured alongside The Ramones, Tom Petty, The Police, Squeeze and Talking Heads.                   www.eddieandthehotrods.com

Extract from BACK STREET HEROES BSH MAGAZINE July 2008. Review of Hot Rod 55 at the Into the Valley bash.. "...everyone rushed back in for the final act. It has to be said that the best had most definitely been saved until last: I don't think there are many bands on the current bike scene who can turn a crowd on quite so quickly as Hot Rod 55. They are, to my mind, the most entertaining rockabilly band I have ever seen, and it looked like all of the people jammed into the marquee at Into The Valley 2008 were in full agreement". - Chairman of NABD
