Start this one off with Oi Not Profit! Hailing from the streets of East London way back in 1974, Cock Sparrer started out kicking around the pubs making a good little racket, then morphed into a punk rockin' band that fit right in with the working class Oi movement. Along with other great bands like the Cockney Rejects, 4 Skins and countless others, the Oi scene was highly politicized due to skinhead violence and certain involvement in the National Front. Of course, this is a generalization by the mass media and does not mean that any of these bands are affiliated with them. Regardless, most of these bands made great working class DIY punk rock records and Cock Sparrer was definitely one of them. This is their album called "True Grit".
