tons of info here, but the truth about Skrewdriver is totally avoided. here's an excert:
::book:: The band existed as two very distinct entities, Skrewdriver Mk1 evolved out of the punk explosion that gripped Britain in 1976. The early period was all about the music, the fashion, and four lads from the north west of England having a good time. Two years later the impetus had gone, bad decisions had been made, key players had left and a lack of musical focus led to their decline into a very average rock (not punk) band. They limped on into early 1980 before finally expiring. Then two years later singer Ian Stuart revived the name with totally different personnel and the full National Front manifesto. Unfortunately the image of Skrewdriver will be forever tarnished by the extreme political affiliations of this later incarnation. People are entitled to their own opinions but this is not the place to debate the rights or wrongs of Ian Stuart?s politics as expressed through Skrewdriver Mk2. This is the story of those exciting early days of 76-78. ::book::
They tip toe the truth with careful wording. Skrewdriver was the grand daddys of Nazi Skinhead Punk. By the early ninties there were so many skinhead factions I couldn't keep up with what all the different colored shoelaces in Doc Martins meant. I remember red was Nazi and green was SHARP (skin heads against racial prejudice) Though I've always dug Minor Threat and Agnostic Front, Skinhead has never been my forte. I've always been a Streetpunk/Hawk.
I left Colorado Springs 7 days ago. 2 days after I left some niger gangsters drove by my girls place and shot her house all to hell. They missed her but got her neighbor who was there visiting. When the cops arrived their attention was focused on Crapple stickers that featured a cop shooting dope with the phrase "where are our seized drugs really going"
Now chances are I'll always hate the police, but I'm not gonna hate an entire race because of a few.
