History
Cockney Rejects played fast, brutal, unpolished punk that sounded like a punch-up set to music, and they did more than almost anyone to turn street punk into Oi!. The band came from the docklands of East London and was built around brothers Jeff Turner, known as Stinky, on vocals and Mick Geggus on guitar. Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69 helped get them started, and their first albums, Greatest Hits Vol. 1 and Greatest Hits Vol. II, both from 1980, were full of short, furious songs about their own streets, boxing, fighting and West Ham United. Their track Oi! Oi! Oi! gave the movement a name, and their recording of I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles, the West Ham terrace hymn, became a hit. The flip side was violence: the band's football allegiance drew trouble to their shows, and touring became close to impossible. The Power and the Glory in 1981 already leaned heavier, and soon after they moved towards straight hard rock and heavy metal before later returning to their roots. Listeners know them by the raw East London accent, the terrace chants and guitars played with no concern for polish.
