WHEN THE STORM BREAKS |
||
In 1987, the skinhead movement under the White Noise Club was at the forefront of the musical revolution called 'Rock Against Communism'. Bands like Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, Skullhead, and No Remorse and many more played weekly up and down Great Britain to crowds of up to a thousand. It was underground with no advertising and crowds attending through word of mouth. The skinhead scene in Great Britain was financing the right wing resistance movement in the whole of Europe and receiving very little in return. Skrewdriver, led by Ian Stuart first performed the song Blood and Honour in 1985 and it was a song that would become an anthem then flagship for generations of people to come who were far sighted enough to see the abyss our people, culture and future faced if we continued on the road we were taking. London skinheads who followed Skrewdriver began adopting the name Blood and Honour skins, and ruled the roost in all skinhead meeting points around the capital. Last Resort, North, East, South, and West London Skins all began dropping their respective names to come under the legend that was forming as Blood and Honour! Disillusioned by mounting proof that the people controlling the White Noise Club were nothing but self promoting profiteers who cared nothing for the skinheads or music scene it represented, and the fact thousands upon thousands of pounds were being made and nothing was being put back to enhance the scene, Ian Stuart called a meeting. Those present were all the 'top faces' of the London scene, bands Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, Sudden Impact, Squadron and British Movement bands who would have nothing to do with the corrupt White Noise Club, like No Remorse and The Ovaltinees, with representatives from political parties who would normally distance themselves from each other, all met, and agreed to support a new confederacy, a group run by the people it represented, aligned to no single group or movement but that just existed to support anyone, in any way it could, who fought for our people, whether they be right wing racists, patriots, Nationalists to National Socialist freedom fighters. A confederation that supported all good honourable activists and activities, and expected nothing in return, and indeed needed nothing, as it would be self-supporting in every way. The independent voice, of the right wing resistance movement. Blood and Honour! was born, a movement
built around musical revolution, with no party barriers
to hinder the fight! From these humble beginnings now part
of skinhead folklore, Blood and Honour has evolved beyond
recognition. From a movement based solely around the
skinhead scene and Oi! music, different 'cults' and
musical styles have all rallied under the banner in the
struggle of our people, Rockabilly, Hatecore, White Rock
and Nationalist ballads are but a few. The Official
magazine, now in its nineteenth year, despite continual
and massive State pressure, runs every three months and
is still growing at every print, some of the original
contributors still playing a major part. From the original loose confederation
Blood and Honour has evolved into a tight organisation,
active groups of thirty plus becoming Divisions, smaller
groups being given sectional status, all politically
active and aligned to the party or movement of their
choice, neither Divisional or Section status is awarded
lightly, it has to be earnt not bought. Sadly our founder and leader Ian Stuart Donaldson was taken from us in 1993. But his legacy has remained and flourished, his dream of a movement run by and for skinheads, behind a musical front remains, and has grown into a confederation of like minded people, stronger than ever. A movement, offering people an alternative lifestyle to the drug infested, pro homosexual, race mixing scene fanatically pushed by today's powers to be, is giving hope to thousands around the world. Welcome to Blood and Honour! Welcome to the Voice of Hope! |
