Our Take

Ah, Cock Sparrer, the stalwart soldiers of the British punk scene. Their latest offering, "Shock Troops," is a raucous, fist-pumping delight that will have you jumping in your Doc Martens in no time.

From the opening chords of "Where Are They Now?" to the anthemic "They Mean Murder," the album is a non-stop barrage of energy and attitude. The band's trademark snarl and swagger are on full display here, with frontman Colin McFaull's vocals cutting through the mix like a knife through butter.

But it's not all aggression and anger. Tracks like "Riot Squad" and "Working" show a more introspective side to the band, delving into themes of class struggle and working-class pride. And then there's the cheeky, infectious "Take 'Em All," which will have you singing along at the top of your lungs.

Production-wise, "Shock Troops" is polished but not overproduced, capturing the raw, live energy of the band's performances. The guitars are crunchy, the drums are thunderous, and the bass rumbles like an angry bear. It's a sonic assault on the senses, in the best possible way.

Overall, Cock Sparrer's "Shock Troops" is a must-have for any fan of punk rock. It's brash, bold, and unapologetically British. So lace up your boots, raise a pint, and let the music do the talking. This album is a certified banger, mate. Cheers!
