Skullhead
Photobucket
Skullhead got their start in 1984 in the Newcastle area. Labeled as a R.A.C. or White-Power band by most, front-man Kevin Turner frequently referred to Skullhead as a third party band. With elements of Oi!, Rock n' Roll, and Heavy Metal, their sound was very unique for the time and culture. Having ties with the National Front, and White Noise, Skullhead began to make waves quickly in the WP scene, gaining friendships with other bands, such as Skrewdriver, and Brutal Attack.

Skullhead had close ties with the short lived zine "Unity", who gave exposure to new and upcoming R.A.C. bands, and shared there beliefs in Odinism. The main contributor to Unity would end up being arrested some time in the early 90's, and would forfeit the few existing copies to be burned.

Some time in the late 80's or early 90's Kevin Turner served time at Acklington Prison, for assault on a man in Consett, UK.

After the band called in quits in 1994, the members all went separate ways; Nick went on to play in some ska bands, Tim looks like he went on to play in some s**tty ballad rock band, Spin went on to play in a very popular Street Rock n' Roll band(I would rather not say the name because I know they try to keep it toned down), and Kevin Turner probably went the most separate way by becoming a Techno MC. Going by the name MC Techno T, Kevin Turner would do his best attempt to rap over techno beats. In September of 2001, a British news paper outed Techno T to his fans, saying their favorite MC is actually the front-man of a very popular white-power band. A spokesman for "Tyne and Wear Anti-Fascist Association" would go one to say "We welcome the exposure of Kevin Turner who is known to have a history of race hate."

Turner would give "Skullhead" a rebirth in 2002, with all new members, and stance that he said was not political in anyway. Kevin Turner is now a Buddhist and operates a tattoo parlor in Newcastle. I'm not sure if he has any plans to bring Skullhead back to life, but if he does, he's got plenty of support from me.
