Music reviews of Shock Troops / Running Riot in '84

Music Review: The First OI Band...
Rating: 5 Stars

Cock Sparrer has a good claim on being one of the world's first punk band's, playing together before the Sex Pistols were even formed. Unfortunately, they didn't make a big splash with their first appearence... They released some singles during punk's first wave in the late seventies, but where they really proved to be influential was with these two albums, loaded with song after song of catchy, anthemic songs.

Cock Sparrer writes simple songs... a few verses and a catchy chorus. However, each song is laden with subtlties, rewarding the closer listener. Sure, there is no musical genius or poetry on either of these albums, all there is, are songs like Argy Bargy, Riot Squad, Working and more, that address the problems of the youth in a pessemistic way, while the songs are anything but depressing. Each song is full of energy, thanks to Colin McFaull's rather unique vocals... Sure, the topics are bleak and seldom optimistic, but Colin's voice acts like a glimmer of hope in all the bad times.

It's not all punk songs either. We're Coming Back and Out on an Island are certainly not the standard punk thoroughfare, with nice little riffs holding the respective songs together. Yet, even these more serious songs are equally catchy. I can remember my brother always songing Out on an Island...

Overall, Cock Sparrer is better than the average OI band, by far. Their songs possess sufficient variety so that you probably won't get too bored with all 70+ minutes of this cd (which is a pretty good deal by the way). Listen to it with a pint of bitter.
