have you got some antifaschist skinhead band in us

[skaful]

i'm french redskin, and want to listen antiracist or anarchist skinhead band from america, but in europe we haven't got any information about this scene, can you help me?

[Enragé]

skinhead antifascist? sounds like a contradiction to me (still i donno, im european as well)

hey since you're french, i've been trying to decipher lyrics of a band called pleymo, from what i've been able to translate at least they are pretty anti-establishment and somewhat anti-money at least ("c'est cash qu'on attaque" and "on ne changera rien, quand on s'attache des mains")
anyways do you know them and what are like their political views?

Contradiction, only to the woefully uninformed.

all over the world, you can find skinhead with anarchist or communist mind, they are in a unofficial group RASH(red and anarchist skinhead). all the skinhead aren't nazi or nationalist.

Haven't you heard of the Redskins (http://www.redskins.co.uk)?

Also The Blaggers ITA whose line up included a few skinheads and the band were all members of Anti Fascist Action.

RASH is far from "unofficial". They are a very close-knit and well organized group. And it's actually quite difficult to start a chapter. All the chapters are in good standing as far as communication goes and they are very official in terms of joining and being a member.

As for US antifa skinhead bands, they are few. The skinhead scene here in the US is extremely conservative and most support the Republican party. (Bush's party for the foreigners) The skinhead scene is extremely anti-communist, and anti communism is more popular than anti-racism or any other movement. Most anti-racists in the states are seen as commies, and therefore even the non-racist skins have a dislike for SHARP, RASH, ASAP, or anything proclaiming to be anti-racist/anti-fascist.

But we do have a few anti-racist bands.
The Templars-anti racist oi
Pressure Point-(supposedly) socialist minded oi/streetpunk
Fighting Chance-left wing streetrock/hardcore

I advise anybody interested in anti-fascist skinhead music to hit up www.insurgence.net. That has pretty much all the accesable anti-fascist skinhead music in North America, and some from Europe as well.

I avoid buying stuff on Fire And Flames records. The same goes for Mad Butcher Records as both are rip off merchants and should not be trusted.
