ENGLISH ROCK BAND EDDIE & THE HOT RODS HAVE ENJOYED A CAREER THAT HAS NOW SPANNED OVER 37 YEARS
Although often categorised as one of the founding fathers of the punk era, they were simply interested in playing loud, fast, in your face Rock ‘n’ Roll rather than bad mouthing the Queen or fermenting anarchy.
The energy and attitude certainly endeared them to the punks, but the hard and fast style that made Eddie & The Hot Rods one of the most exciting bands of the era has never really dated or gone out of style.
Eddie & The Hot Rods were included in the Mojo Top 100 of most influential bands and they are often cited as a major influence on some of the high profile new bands – young Irish rockers, The Strypes being one example.
Thanks to this enduring appeal, the band still tour all over the world as well as find time to write and record new material that now joins their classic back catalogue.
Eddie & The Hot Rods have been seen out and about with Status Quo on their 2012 arena tour and often with old friends like Nine Below Zero, Dr Feelgood and From The Jam, but whether it’s in an Arena, Theatre, Club or Festival, Eddie & The Hot Rods always deliver a blisteringly energetic blast of good old Rock ‘n’ Roll.
Doused with Garage, Surf Punk and Psychotic Rock n Rolla this sound takes no mercy in either this world or the next. Sounding like the love child between The Cramps sprinkled with Tom Waites mixed with all kinds of voodoo juice and B movie madness, welcome to the world of Killer Tone Jones.
