Skullhead was an English Rock Against Communism band from the Newcastle area. Along with Brutal Attack, Skrewdriver and No Remorse, they are one of the most notable bands of that genre.[2] Led by Kevin Turner, they started out as an Oi!-style-sounding band and then adopted elements from heavy metal music and other types of rock music with their sound. Skullhead's music is often about British pride and Nordic gods. The members referred to themselves as adhering to Third Position and Odalist philosophy.[3]
After becoming inactive in the white power skinhead scene, Turner became a tattoo artist and techno music MC under the moniker MC Techno T.[4][5] He has performed at some of the biggest rave clubs in England, including After Dark in South Shields and The Colosseum in Norton, Stockton. He has also featured on several releases with Trance Troopers. The Sunderland Echo exposed MC Techno T as a former member of Skullhead.[6][7] Turner and a new lineup of Skullhead released the album Return to Thunder in 2002.
