Formed in 1972, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel were prominent members of the British rock scene with a unique breed of rock 'n roll. Front man Steve Harley began his career as a music journalist, then as a street performer before forming the band with fellow musician John Crocker. They caught the attention of the industry quickly and signed to a major label soon after coming together. The duo's career spans five chart topping albums, as the band went through line-up changes and losses of members. However, Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel picked up performing again in the late 2000s, enduring certain trials to continue to perform music for fans everywhere.
