Eddie and The Hot Rods began life in the mid seventies when the prevailing trend in the music business was "Pub Rock".

The band quickly established themselves on the scene and a sizeable following soon built up. Despite having contemporaries like Brinsley Schwartz and Dr. Feelgood Eddie and The Hot Rods had a tougher and faster sound which set them apart from other bands on the circuit and this stance would also stand them in good stead when in 1976 "Pub Rock" metamorphosed into "Punk Rock" although it was quite obvious that the band weren't punks they were accepted by the punk movement where others failed.

The bands first brush with success was the EP Live at the Marquee and the single Teenage Depression both of which made the top forty singles charts.

The bands first album also titled Teenage Depression cemented their tough fast rocking attitude and sold well. In 1977 former Kursaal Flyers guitarist Graeme Douglas joined the band and they shortened their name to the Rods. The single Do Anything You Wanna Do was a top ten singles success in the summer of that year and the album from where it was drawn, Life on the Line also sold well. Further albums saw smaller returns however and the band split in 1981 following the release of the worthwhile album Fish n Chips.

The classic line up of the band Barrie Masters, Steve Nicol, Dave Higgs, and Paul Gray reformed for a hugely successful European tour and a subsequent album was released in Japan and the UK

In 2005 the band recorded the successful album Better Late Than Never and embarked on a serious amount of touring activity both in Europe and America which culminated in an appearance at a gig in London to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of “Pub Rock” alongside fellow Southend heroes Dr. Feelgood and Wilko Johnson

Been There, Done That could well be the phrase that sums up Eddie and the Hot Rods who are still led from the front by Barry Masters. The band decided that it was time to record a new album that mixed a select number of covers including Born To Be Wild and Belgian Tom’s Hat Trick alongside original material and in early 2006 busied themselves in the studio writing and recording Been There Done That. Containing fourteen tracks of high octane rock n roll Ben There, Done That has turned out to be one of the bands best albums to date and certainly one that stands proud amongst the bands popular back catalogue.
