Cock Sparrer and The Attack

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.

British mod-rock band The Attack, formed from the Soul System wreckage in 1966, gained posthumous fame for their vibrant 60s freakbeat style. Known for singles like "Try It" and managed by Don Arden, they worked with members of bands like Marmalade and the Nice. Despite label struggles, their unique sound lives on in compilations and reissues.
