Skrewdriver were an English punk rock band formed by Ian Stuart Donaldson in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, in 1976. Originally a punk band,[5] Skrewdriver changed into a white power skinhead rock band after reuniting in the 1980s.[6] Their original line-up split in January 1979 and Donaldson reformed the band with different musicians in 1982.[7] This new version of the band played a leading role in the Rock Against Communism movement.[8]
The band fell apart after Donaldson died in a car crash in 1993.
