Background/History |
The white power band Skrewdriver and its now deceased leader Ian Stuart (Donaldson) are legendary within the white supremacist and racist skinhead movements. Although the band fell apart after Stuart's death in 1993, many white supremacists and racist skinheads pay tribute to Skrewdriver by sporting Skrewdriver tattoos and by wearing Skrewdriver pins, patches, or clothing.
