The Story

OriginUnited KingdomGenrepunk rock, new waveLabelIsland Records

Picture a raucous pub, where the air is thick with energy and the promise of a good time. That’s the vibe Eddie & The Hot Rods brought from the UK, blending punk rock with new wave flair. Known for their infectious anthem "Do Anything You Wanna Do," the band carved their niche in the vibrant music scene of the late '70s. With a lineup that saw changes but always featured the charismatic Barrie Masters until his passing in 2019, their spirit remained alive through the years. Even after their breakup in 1985, they reignited the stage in 1996, guided by former bassist Ian 'Dipster' Dean. Eddie & The Hot Rods remind us that the pulse of rock 'n' roll is both timeless and ever-evolving, keeping the party going long after the last call.
