I like communist era "harch-rock"

I still need these albums

Btw, what is the situation on RAC in the anglosphere? I feel like it completely died out in the late 2000s while European RAC was still developing or even growing.

im more into my ska/reggae. proper old school skinhead music.

>>25526276 it's shit.

>>25526372 ive never heard of any active scene

>>25526385 You mean currently on the bonglands? I have no idea honestly, last albums I heard from there came out like 2004.

>>25526372 Most Nationalists under 40 make either Fashwave, NS Black Metal, Martial Industrial or Neofolk. You even get an errant rapper or two like Nofacenate. That being said, some modern American Nationalist skinhead bands like Fascine, Birthrite or Wellington Arms

>>25526276 I listen ro RAC on a regular basis.

Heil

>>25526390 yeah, im sure within the metal scene there are some covert skinhead groups but im not in that scene tend to go to more drum and bass, jungle, reggae music events where i can also like the odd jazz gig quite enjoy deep house and psytrance too

>>25529319 should add that im into garage too

I listen to soviet metal

I met and smoked some weed with some metal heads once and they were pretty racist but I think the overtly skinhead RAC groups got pushed deep underground groups like Combat 18

sounds like corporate propaganda for kids

>>25529442 just based on the name, I don't know anything about it

>>25529442 >>25529444 The term comes from events organized by the UK-based National Front party's youth wing as a response to Rock Against Racism. In today's world, "Nazi Punk" may seem like an oxymoron, but historically, Punk and the far-right were strange bedfellows. Racist Punk can arguably be traced back to as early as 1977, with the birth of Punk subculture in England. Eddy Morrison of the Young National Front started Punk Front in Leeds to counter Rock Against Racism. Bands like The Dentists, White Boss, Homicide, The Ventz / Tragic Minds and The Raw Boys played the first Rock Against Communism shows the National Front organized. While none of these bands ever recorded any music and later died in obscurity, an important event was only a few years away. As left-wingers gradually pushed right-wingers out of Punk subculture, the National Front canvassed skinhead subculture to carry the far-right's counterculture. Although never affiliated with right-wing organizations, bands like Combat 84 laid the groundwork with lyrics advocating capital punishment and opposing nuclear disarmament. The watershed moment was an incident at a concert for The 4-Skins, The Business and The Last Resort in Southall during July of 1981. Two years earlier, police killed Anti-Nazi League activist Blair Peach in a riot instigated by the demonstrators, so racial tensions at a fever pitch. Accounts conflict as to who instigated it. The bands conceded the skinheads and South Asians weren't getting along, but maintain the the response was greatly out of proportion with the trouble the skinheads were causing them. On the other side, the South Asian locals claimed some of the skinheads assaulted women and elderly people, engaged in property destruction / vandalism and daubed National Front slogans on shop windows. The locals protested the gig on wrongful suspicion the bands were far-right and subsequently rioted, burning down the venue in the process. Following that incident, The 4-Skins recorded a song "One Law for Them" RAC bands oppose Communism not only for economic reasons, but also for the humanism and liberal aspects of socialism. The irrelevance of race and/or nation in socialism is the salient point RAC opposes in all their anti-left rhetoric. Consequently, most bands are explicitly White Nationalist and/or National Socialist. Early on, RAC was strictly about British Nationalism. A fair number of mid '80s RAC bands weren't necessarily Nazi and some never were in the course of their careers. As time went on, bands became much more openly Nazi, especially with Skrewdriver's later albums becoming more obvious in their references to the Third Reich and Norse Neopaganism. Why RAC? Think about it. Abstract economic theories don't inspire too many people to write academic compositions, much less make music. In fact, has an economic theory inspired anyone to make music of any sort? There's no such thing as Rock Against Central Planning or Rock Against Labor Theory of Value. Anyone who tried to make such music would look weird, but that puts these artists in a bind. Given that Nationalist skinheads are opposed to the total social vision of Communism rather than mere elements within it, they naturally grasp at something to replace it. That replacement usually comes in the form of blunt expressions of White Nationalism: three chords and the truth. Frequently, artists who produce art for the intention of pushing a certain idea or belief renders the end product little more than a propaganda vehicle, but making musical propaganda requires a good sense of creativity, understanding of human psychology and personal convictions to create music that resonates with people politically. Most don't succeed, but it's the effort that counts for me. There's more than a fair number of '80s RAC bands that weren't necessarily Nazi and some never were in the course of their brief careers, namely the original incarnation of Public Enemy (UK), London Branch, Indecent Exposure, Last Orders and The Diehards. Some of them were expressly White Nationalist, but none of those bands ever crossed over into Hitler worship. 1987 was a turning point for Rock Against Communism. After a protracted dispute between several prominent White Noise Club-affiliated bands and National Front, Ian Stuart broke away and founded Blood & Honour, an organization that soon earned strong support from several former White Noise Club bands and even earning new followers. Only Skullhead and Violent Storm were said to have stayed loyal to White Noise Club, the latter issuing a statement denouncing Skrewdriver. This loyalty would soon bite both of those bands in the ass when it came time to release the "Third Way" EP. By this point, Skrewdriver had already identified as a National Socialist band, and many others followed suit. Equally gone was all traces of Oi! in Skrewdriver's sound in favor of anthemic Hard Rock. Most of those ballads tend to be dreadful since your average RAC frontman's voice was built for aggression than crooning, but some have an odd charm to them. "White Rider" embodied this transition in everything from the music down to the artwork, featuring a painfully obvious homage to D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" only this time the whole background's ablaze. Once Blood and Honour formed as a split off from White Noise, bands like Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack, Sudden Impact, Squadron, No Remorse and English Rose all pledged their support for Hitler's legacy

Its cool

>gigi und die braunen lmao I remember that from 12 years ago

before 2018 youtube was filled with rac, there was rac only channels that posted updates almost daily good times, now theres only remains

Probably based, but don't realy care.

>>25526370 I can definitely hook you up with all of them on lossless except Oithanasie. That one's tough to get.

>>25526370 >>25530624 I'll upload more later tonight. I'll be away from my computer.

I really like RAC for its musical aspects, as the heavier type and often deeper singing compared to other genres makes it more pleasant to listen, especially since it tends to keep a rather grounded approach, nothing too crazy or experimental. Sadly many of the bands are either straight up trash, directly copy generic punk or have absolutely moronic bydlo texts, especially when it comes to German, which when done correctly will somewhat eloquently dance around legal limitations to publicize their music.

Briefly back but will have to leave.

I think it's boring. Ska is cool though, I like to listen to it while drinking beer.

Inferior to scottish poppy folk

>>25532330 Oh fuck you.

>>25526276 I love the fact hat you're still making these threads. I think the first one I ever saw was around 2015 which means you're been doin this for 10 years now and I personally think this is quite an accomplishment. How does it make you feel?

>>25532727 Yep, I remember that comic made by Metalpunk Catalan. Hope he's doing well. >How does it make you feel? "What's It Like to Be Old" by Cock Sparrer comes to mind. Part of me feels I should've channeled my free time towards something productive as I'd be a decade closer to retirement, but I met some buddies along the way. In the end, we're all Bernds.

communism is cringe anti-communism is also cringe

what mental illness compels you to make the thread which never gets any replies, about the same niggernoise, daily, for over five years straight

Alright, bedtime for me.

hail :DDDDDDDDD

Bump

For whatever reason, the official reissue speeds and pitches up the recordings for Liberté!. What I've done is slowed down the recordings and reduced the pitch in Audacity, so you can have the recordings as they were intended.
