Cock Sparrer are widely considered to be one of the most influential Street Punk bands in history.
2012 sees them celebrate their 40th Anniversary.
The thing about Sparrer is that they're not just a band. They are childhood friends and have been making a noise since they got together way back in 1972. They were playing, drinking, going to football and generally making a nuisance of themselves when the late 1970s punk scene started in London. Finally it seemed that there were hundreds of like-minded people with the same attitude.
Rarely do a band get the reaction that these guys do. A Cock Sparrer show is an event. It's like cup final day. A family singalong. Theirs is a career in reverse, they're bigger now than they ever were. Regularly headlining all the major punk festivals in Europe and occasionally hitting the US to headline events such as Punk Rock Bowling and Riot Fest.
This year is a year of celebration-- with friends. And to start it off the band are hooking up with RANCID, who themselves are celebrating 20 years together, for a joint show on 23rd March at the Warfield in San Francisco.
Cock Sparrer -- 40 years on, still five blokes in a pub, five mates having a laugh, more than just a band.
