Skullhead was a 1980s 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. Led by Kevin Turner, they started out as an Oi!-style band and then adopted elements from heavy metal music and other types of rock music. Skullhead stayed away from the overt racist and pro-Nazi lyrics of bands such as No Remorse, and instead mostly sang about British pride, Nordic gods and anti-capitalism. The members referred to themselves as a Third Position band.
After becoming inactive in the white power skinhead scene, Turner became a tattoo artist and techno music MC under the moniker MC Techno T.[1][2] He has performed at some of the biggest rave clubs in England, including After Dark in South Shields, and has been featured on several live hard techno CDs. The Sunderland Echo exposed MC Techno T as a former member of Skullhead.[3][4] Turner and a new lineup of Skullhead released the album Return to Thunder in 2002.
