Cock Sparrer in London

Cock Sparrer are a British punk band formed in 1972 in the East End of London. Their direct, chant-led street punk became closely associated with Oi!, and their best-known recordings include the album Shock Troops and the songs “England Belongs to Me,” “Take ’Em All” and “We’re Coming Back.” Cock Sparrer resumed live work after re-forming in 1992. Festival appearances later included Rebellion Festival in Blackpool and Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas, establishing a concert history that extends well beyond their original 1970s club years. Their headline concerts have also reached larger theatre-sized rooms at the Forum and Roundhouse.
