The group was founded in 1985 by Al Jourgensen and Luc Van Acker, along with Patrick Codenys and Richard 23 of Front 242. The first release was No Devotion on Wax Trax records.

The origin of the group’s name is uncertain. One story claims that the name was the result of the original lineup participating in a night of extremely heavy drinking which resulted in a bar owner throwing the drunk group out and calling them a bunch of “revolting cocks.”

Losing Richard 23 and Patrick Codenys due to creative differences, the group’s remaining two members were augmented by a rapidly changing set of musicians centered around Chris Connelly (Fini Tribe, later Damage Manual), Paul Barker (Ministry), Duane Buford, and Bill Rieflin (who is now playing for REM and Robyn Hitchcock), with around twenty others as irregular contributors or guest artists.

The single was quickly followed by an album Big Sexy Land in 1986, followed by a live album You Goddamned Son of a Bitch in 1987 and Beers, Steers, and Queers in 1989. After a lengthy hiatus, Linger Ficken’ Good, was released in 1993 - this would be the Cocks’ last album for over 10 years.

The first album was a mix of Wax Trax-industrial, hard rock, and EBM with dominating sampling and strong synthesized beats. The live album, with the change in personnel, featured a return to Ministry-like industrial rock - the Big Sexy Land tracks embedded in shouting and noise. This trend continued on Beers, Steers and Queers, layering sample over sample and pushing ever further into distortion.
