Album Notes & Community Reviews

Despite its misleading title, this is actually the second proper studio album by the notoriously raucous East End punk outfit Cockney Rejects. The record is a foundational text for the emerging Oi! movement, characterized by aggressive, terrace-chant choruses and working-class lyrical themes. It captures the violent, hyper-energetic street-level reality of early 1980s Britain.
