Skrewdriver is best known as a pro-white power band, and a lot of people find it hard to look past this. The truth of the matter is that before Skrewdriver developed Nazi-sympathies, they were a straight forward English punk band. In short, the original, non-political, non-racist Skrewdriver broke up in 1979, but reformed in 1982 with only one original member, Ian Stuart. It was the reformed Skrewdriver that became poster boys for the white power movement. This leaves me with a thought. If Ian Stuart at used a new band name when he started his new version of Skrewdriver, would people look at this album differently?
