Oi Oi OI! It's the cockney rejects!
Pioneers of the Oi music genre, and therefore massively influential in the breakthrough of the punk scene. Formed in 1978, in 1980 this band hit the charts with an almighty slap. They shook the streets of London and became widely recognised punk stars. They've charted 10 rowdy ruffian albums and still today they are touring with their immensely successful live performances. They are brutal in their lyrics, aggressively chanting at the audience, boisterously parading the stage and transporting the crowd back in time to the working class 80's.
Nothing beats a classic rock and roll gig. But specifically punk, the Cockney Rejects put on a ruthlessly savage attack as a show. Of course their gigs wouldn't go down the same without their biggest hit thrown at you. Cockney Rejects are widely established due to their dedication and homage to their favourite football team West Ham United. The band wrote a number one hit called 'I'm forever blowing bubbles,' and devoted it to their football team. Now the song is amplified out before the start of every home fixture held at Upton Park, West Ham's home stadium, and is sang with such passion from the home crowd that it strikes fear into opposing fans and teams and it's all thanks to the Cocnkey Rejects. The band are full of punk history and are still one of the best punk bands to see live today.
