Cock Sparrer was founded by Colin McFaull, Mick Beaufoy, Steve “Burge” Burgess and Steve Bruce – who had known each other since the age of 11. Playing in nightclubs in and around London, they developed the style that was later to be known as streetpunk or Oi! , mixed with pub rock / R&B influences. In 1976, Garrie Lammin (Burge’s cousin) joined as second guitarist, and the band met with Malcolm McLaren , who was considering managing Cock Sparrer alongside the Sex Pistols .
