Cock Sparrer, born in London's East End in 1975, were key figures in the Oi! movement with raw, defiant anthems and hits like "England Belongs to Me." Known for their loud, Cockney style, their influential album *Shock Troops* inspired bands like Rancid and the Dropkick Murphys. Despite early label issues, they reunited in 1992, continued touring, and celebrated a 40-year legacy, collaborating with acts like Rancid.
