Cockney Rejects - East End Babylon
Clear vinyl
Art No 001-126
1 auf Lager
In 2012, amidst a landscape often saturated with polished rock and pop, the legendary East End punks, Cockney Rejects, unleashed "East End Babylon".
More than just another album, it arrived as a potent reminder of their enduring spirit, a testament to their roots, and a fiercely uncompromised statement from a band that had been carving its own path since the late 1970s. Released by Cadiz Music and Randale Records, this album, often alongside a companion documentary of the same name, solidified their place not just in Oi! punk history, but as an ongoing force in hard rock.
"East End Babylon" is a visceral journey into the Cockney Rejects' world. Formed by brothers Jeff and Mick Geggus, the band emerged from the working-class streets of East London, offering an antidote to what they saw as the more "art school" leanings of some early punk. Their sound became synonymous with the burgeoning Oi! movement – raw, direct, and lyrically focused on the realities of their lives: police harassment, street life, and, famously, football. This ethos is palpable throughout "East End Babylon".
