Formed in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1978, the Exploited emerged as a leading second-wave U.K. punk band led by frontman Wattie Buchan. Known for raw street punk and hardcore anthems, they released notable albums like 1981's Punks Not Dead and 1982's Troops of Tomorrow.

Formed in East London in the late 1970s, the Cockney Rejects delivered a working-class punk sound reflecting inner-city life. Signed by EMI after four gigs, they charted a debut album and recorded "I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles". Their lineup later featured members of Toy Dolls and The Business.
