Sex Pistols’ First Rehearsal: Wandsworth Beginnings & the Birth of British Punk

We explore how John Lydon, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones and Paul Cook gathered at London’s Rose & Crown pub in August 1975 to shape early tracks that would ignite the British punk wave. The episode traces the band’s raw sound, Malcolm McLaren’s managerial push, the first versions of “Anarchy in the U.K.” and the DIY infrastructure that turned a cramped rehearsal room into an icon of rebellion.
