>> Cock Sparrer

Cocksparrer arose along with many other British punk acts in 1977, though its sound wouldn't fit the usual '77-era mold. A precursor to bands like Sham 69 and the Angelic Upstarts, Cocksparrer helped to lay the foundation for what would later become oi! with its loud guitars and youth-centric anthems, though for the most part it would be overlooked during its heyday.
