KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in 1976 and on Canvey Island, Essex, England, for Eddie & The Hot Rods' "Writing On The Wall", first released as a 7" 45 RPM single on Island...

"It might be hard to believe now, but early in 1976, what was fast becoming a Punk Rock Revolution in the U.K. was in fact led by Eddie & The Hot Rods. The band featured Lew Lewis on harmonica, until he became "too much" for the others and it was said that it took all the other band members and road crew to hold Lew down when they told him he was fired !

In 1976, things were moving fast and by year's end, The Sex Pistols were a household name." - KV
