Poulton-le-Fylde, England (1976 – 1978, 1979 – 1980, 1981 – 1993)
Skrewdriver was a British punk rock — then later white power skinhead — band formed in Poulton-le-Fylde, England in 1976 by Ian Stuart Donaldson. They became one of the first neo-nazi rock bands, playing a leading role in the far right rock against communism movement.
Ian Stuart Donaldson, formerly of the Rolling Stones cover band Tumbling Dice, formed Skrewdriver after seeing the Sex Pistols in Manchester. Skrewdriver at first had a punk appearance, but they changed their image into a skinhead look in 1977. They also temporarily had a rocker/biker look, around the time they released the EP Built Up Knocked Down. In 1978, Donaldson moved to Salford, where he recruited guitarist Glenn Jones and drummer Martin Smith. This lineup toured extensively, but certain venues were reluctant to book the band because of their reputation as a violent skinhead band. Performing largely for a skinhead audience, the first versions of the band released one album and two singles on the Chiswick label. This version of the band split up in January 1979 after a concert in Warrington, but Donaldson resurrected the name Skrewdriver in 1982 using new musicians.
Band Musicians
Skrewdriver inherited its first line-up from it’s predecessor, the band Tumbling Dice, which Donaldson had formed in 1975. They were Ian Stuart Donaldson, Kev McKay, John Grinton and Phil Walmsley. When the band changed from punk to skinhead, Walmsley bowed out and was substituted with skinhead Ron Hartley.

Oh, yes. Hitler LOVED jazz. After all, his butt buddy, Joseph Goebbels, created Charlie and His Orchestra for propaganda purposes.

@Chimino, bullshit. Russia is ok. Caucasians everywhere only in Moscow. Our youth is very racist and agressive. And our Christians are very anti-semitic(jews killed our Tsar afterall). We won't be wiped out. We are not such miserable sub-human lovers like u. We know our history. We don't have nigger-like people on the streets and if some of them will be on the street he surely will be punched to death. We love our culture and our people.
