Cock Sparrer are widely considered to be one of the most influential street-punk bands in history, and helped pave the way for the late-1970s punk scene and the significant Oi! subgenre. Here is the band's story from the perspective of drummer and driving force, Steve Bruce--from their beginnings in London's East End through the mid-1970s punk boom and Malcolm McLaren's attempts to mold them, until the current period that sees them as surprised as anybody to find themselves touring the world, releasing new material, and enjoying the respect and love of the punk and Oi! community.
