Fiercely working class in stance and attitude, the Cockney Rejects eschewed the political ramblings of punk's first wave and sang about the circumstances that surrounded them and millions of street kids in Britain's inner cities - police harassment, street battles and football to name three.
While retaining the bands aggressiveness and spunk, The Power & the Glory took a big chance by trying such experimental ventures as acoustic guitar, melodies, musicianship and semi-tasteful artwork. The album contains impressive moments, especially noteworthy given the Rejects' prior blitzkrieg approach. A classic LP of interest not solely to punk aficionados.
The Power and the Glory is their 3rd studio album originally released in 1981. Recorded at Air Studios and Rockfield Studios and produced by Steve Churchyard (Sex Pistols, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Madness, The Stranglers).
