“It’s quite simple, Eddie & the Hot Rods are a loud, fast and exciting rock ‘n’ roll band, far more interested in playing songs that will set your pulse racing feet moving and hands clapping. Our message is quite simply: get up, have a good time and remember …Do Anything You Wanna Do!” – Eddie & the Hot Rods
Whether they were in the studio together jamming for their latest release or belting out their pure unadulterated punk rock to thousands of people on one of their many worldwide tours, Eddie & The Hot Rods have amassed a loyal following over the past four decades and have come to epitomise true British pub rock.
2 Sides takes the best of both worlds, blending together ten live tracks from the Hot Rods’ world tours with ten studio tracks taken from a selection of recent albums. This previously unreleased compilation CD contains the Hot Rods’ unique and live cover versions of such classics as The Who’s The Kids Are Alright, Them’s Gloria and Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs’ Wooly Bully, as well as their greatest hits, including Do Anything You Wanna Do, Quit This Town and Teenage Depression.
Formed in Essex, London in 1975 by Barrie Masters et al, the band helped usher in punk rock in the UK and was known for its wild energy on stage.
