White American Youth
Encyclopedia : W : WH : WHI : White American Youth
White American Youth, also known as W.A.Y., was among the first American white power skinhead bands to appear in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They evolved from an Oi! band into what they termed a "Skinhead Rock" band, meaning that their music had Oi!, punk rock, and rock influences. They covered "White Power" from Skrewdriver, the most well-known white power rock band of all time.
In 1991, the Chicago band broke up and several members went on to form the band Final Solution. In 1992, along with fellow American band Bound for Glory, Final Solution was the first American white power rock band to play a concert in Europe or abroad, setting a precedent that gained exponentially as the years went on. The concert in Weimar, Germany had over 4,000 attendees from all over Europe. The concert also included the German bands Störkraft and Radikahl.
