Southend-On-Sea's Eight Rounds Rapid launch
their new single 'Writeabout' with a free gig at The Railway Hotel in their hometown on Friday 09th of August, and it will be the very first chance to get your hands on a copy. The title track has
never been available in any format prior to this single, which is the
first release on Podrophenia Records and it's strictly limited to 500
hand-numbered copies. Support comes from the always excellent Tuppenny Bunters, and then join
Podrophenia DJs Piley and Mondo downstairs in the bar for the aftershow
party!
Piley and Mondo may be better known for their DJing and Podrophenia Radio show and Podcast, not to mention their joint gig promotions with me at The Railway Hotel for The Len Price 3 and TV Smith. Here, Podrophenia give us the low down on the new single 8RR single "Writeabout".

Who are Eight Rounds Rapid?
Southend's rising stars and estuary bred Rock ‘n’ Rollers, filtering Dr Feelgood Thames-Delta grooves through post-punk punch and new wave clout.
Describe 8RR.
"Window-licking, channel-flicking, TV dinners, sniffing thinners, lotto-playing, fare-evading, shoplifting, jumble-sifting"
Where might I have seen 8RR?
Supporting Wilko Johnson on his Farewell Tour.
Supporting Thee Faction.
At Podrophenia live event nights.

What do I need to know about the new single?
It's a limited edition 7" vinyl release - and the only format that "Writeabout" will ever be available on. The flip-side "Steve" is long-haul live crowd pleaser and fan favourite.
