One of the first gear Oi! bands, Cock Sparrer was acting tatty, raw, Cockney wage-earning anthems as early as the first wave of British punk rocker, although record ship's company difficulties prevented them from issuance a great deal material until the early '80s, when the Oi!movement was easily underway. The group formed in London's East End in 1975, to begin with as a hard-edged taphouse rock'n'roll combo in the nervure of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- singer Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three old age prior. They were united by musical rhythm guitar player Garrie Lammin (Burgess' cousin-german), and curtly began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a even cornerstone. The egress of the Sex Pistols presented an opportunity to further toughen up their healthy, which sparked a brief interest from Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren that didn't goal up amounting to much. In 1977, Cock Sparrer gestural with Decca Records (which had already landed another proto-Oi! band in Slaughter & the Dogs) and recorded their debut single, "Runnin' Riot," which was followed by a cover of the Rolling Stones' "We Love You." However, disagreements with Decca light-emitting crystal rectifier to the sense that the band's simple, basic, street-level sound wasn't very understood; as a consequence, their self-titled debut was, for some intellect, issued only in Spain. Lammin leftfield the chemical mathematical group to follow an performing life chronicle not long after, and a thwarted Cock Sparrer went on an unofficial hiatus.


By the early '80s, bands like Sham 69, the Angelic Upstarts, and the Cockney Rejects had transformed the wage-earning tinder sensibility into a Cockney-dominated subgenre dubbed Oi! As early progenitors of the scene, Cock Sparrer was in demand once once more, particularly after their birdcall "William Ashley Sunday Stripper" appeared on an Oi! compilation. They began gigging again and quick landed a record deal, resulting in the 1982 hit single "England Belongs to Me," which stricken a chord during the centre of the Falklands War. Cock Sparrer's official U.K. debut record album, Shock Troops, was likewise released in 1982 and became a longstanding Oi! favorite. Guitarist Beaufoy leftfield the banding in 1983 and was replaced by the tandem of Chris Skepis (rhythm) and Shug O'Neill (spark advance). This lineup recorded the follow-up album, 1984's Runnin' Riot in '84, only Skepis and O'Neill both gone shortly thereafter. Beaufoy rejoined in brief for the Live & Loud album, released in 1987, but disagreements inside the band and (over again) with their criminal record company precipitated another breakup.


In late 1992, Cock Sparrer was invited to play a reunion gig at the Astoria, approximate Charing Cross. The appearance of over 2,000 fans kayoed the band into a fully fledged reunion, featuring the original quartette of McFaull, Beaufoy, Burgess, and Bruce, addition new round guitarist Daryl Smith. In early 1994, Cock Sparrer released Guilty as Charged, their first gear record album of all-new corporeal in a decennium. The farrago EP Run Away followed in 1995, featuring alive and studio recordings; the proper follow-up to Guilty as Charged, Two Monkeys, was released in 1997, with rumors that it would be the band's last album featuring all new material. A passel of compilations and live recordings followed during the next few long time, with the band chronic to term of enlistment extensively, hit the U.S. in 2000.

Half of average teenager's MP3s are illegal

Here at Guardian/Music we have never ever done anything illegal. Ever. However, our squeaky-clean ways are not followed by The Average Young Person, whose MP3 player contains more than 800 illegally downloaded songs.

Research into the music consumption of 14-24-year-olds found that, on average, 50% of the content on their MP3 players was downloaded illegally. The survey, commissioned by the British Music Rights (BMR) organisation, was carried out by the University of Hertfordshire between February and March 2008 and is the largest study into young people's music ownership ever carried out.

The study also revealed that 58% have copied music from a friend's hard drive to their own, whereas 95% copied music in some way. Uploading music for others to share was seen as "altruistic", but there was also good news for the music industry. Apparently, 80% of current P2P users would be interested in a legal filesharing service - and they would pay for it too.

Feargal Sharkey, BMR's chief executive and ex-frontman of punk band the Undertones, responded warmly to the results, saying: "The music industry should draw great optimism from this groundbreaking survey." He added: "First and foremost, it is quite clear that this young and tech-savvy demographic is as crazy about and engaged with music as any previous generation. Contrary to popular belief, they are also prepared to pay for it too. But only if offered the services they want. That message comes through loud and clear."

The BMR is attempting to drum up support for the music industry by persuading internet service providers to offer a subscription service, offering unlimited downloads for a monthly fee. The report follows the arrest of six people last month for illegally downloading music files. They became the first individuals ever to be charged with such an offence in the UK.

Depp donates $2m to children's hospital

Johnny Depp paid a secret visit to London's Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital on Sunday - and donated $2m of his own money to thank staff for saving his young daughter's life.
The 'Sweeney Todd' star arrived unexpectedly at the hospital, where his eight-year-old daughter Lily-Rose was treated last year when her kidneys failed.
Last week, the actor - who has two children with his partner Vanessa Paradis - invited five Great Ormond Street doctors and nurses to the party for the London premiere of his film 'Sweeney Todd'.
Last November, unknown to the public, Depp spent four hours at the hospital telling bedtime stories to patients dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow after having his 'Pirates of the Caribbean' costume flown over from Los Angeles.
In March last year, Lily-Rose, Depp's oldest child, spent nine days at Great Ormond Street after E.coli poisoning led to the failure of her kidneys.
Filming at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire had to be put on hold as her condition worsened so much it was feared she might not live.
Depp, who on Sunday was named Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globes for his role in 'Sweeney Todd', later said of the scare: "It was the most frightening thing we have ever been through. It was hell.
"But the magic is that she pulled through beautifully. Great Ormond Street was terrific, a great hospital."

makers have consulted with several experts - including one of his former
lovers, Pamela Des Barres - to authenticate it.
