  • Formed in 1976 as a non-political UK punk band, who at their label's urging became skinheads during the second wave of skinheads in England. Skrewdriver became known for attracting violence at their shows and none of their Chiswick releases did very well in the UK charts. They broke up in 1979.Ian Stuart re-formed the band in 1982 as a clearly White Power neo-Nazi skinhead band, with entirely different (and often revolving) band members. This new version of Skrewdriver became the musical arm of the British National Front and released as their debut album %22Hail The New Dawn%22 in 1984 on the German Rock-O-Rama label. This release not only helped transform the label to a far-right position but effectively invented White Power %22hate-rock%22 and Skrewdriver quickly became a driving force behind the RAC (Rock Against Communism) movement.In 1993 Ian Stuart died in a car accident. 1977-1979 lineup:Ian Stuart Donaldson - vocals, GuitarPhil Walmsley - GuitarRon Hartley - GuitarKev McKay - BassJohn %22Grinny%22 Grinton - drumsReformed members:Glen JonesMartin CrossMark FrenchGeoff WilliamsMark NeesonJoseph SmithAdam DouglasMerv ShieldsMurray HolmesDave WanePaul SwainStiv %22Iena%22 RodaStiggerJohn BurnleyColin SmithMushyMike FrenchMark RadcliffeAndrew SkinnerFord Freemantle

  • Skrewdriver were a rock band formed by Ian Stuart Donaldson in Poulton-le-Fylde, England in 1976. Beginning as a non-political, non-racist punk rock/Oi! band, Skrewdriver evolved into the most prominent neo-Nazi rock band in the world. Their original line-up split in 1979 and Donaldson reformed the band with different musicians in 1982. The new version of the band played a leading role in the Rock Against Communism movement.
