First of all how old are you now and which your skinhead/ns history? When you were involvent for first time in the movement and what force you to join?
Iam 40 years old now and first got into the skinhead scene in 1989 after hearing Skrewdriver for the 1st time. I met many other nationalist Skins at the political meetings and concerts i attended and became good friends with them. I eventually got into the Blood&Honour scene which iam now proud to say i have tattooed on my back.
How was the political/social situation in Scotland then and how is today? Any problems?
When i joined the "Fightback" as i call it Scotland was only just starting to feel the full force of the coloured immigration into our land. England had it much worse at the time so the Nationalists from Scotland would travel down to help our English brothers in their struggle. Today however Scotland has been Overrun (British Standard song) by paki/african/indian immigrants and the whole multi-cultural society which has been forced upon us is causing many problems for our people. In my opinion the only way we can reverse this situation is to struggle for independence from the zionist/immigrant loving British government and take our nation back before all is lost.
If im right, you was the second or the third vocalist of the great Scotish R.A.C band British Standard. Can you tell us a bit for your history inside the band? How and when you join, when you leave, etc…
I joined B.S. (British Standard) in 1990 and i was the 2nd singer, the band had a great female singer before me, called Lorraine who left to start a family. It was difficult for all of us in the band at the time to change our sound from female to male vocalist but i think we managed it pretty well. The main problem i had was the lack of songs we had when i joined so i immediately set about writting new material the best of which were probably "New Europe", "Overrun", "Back From The Dead" and 'Fatherland'.
We rehearsed in Glasgow for a few years playing small R.A.C gigs but became frustrated that every time a big concert or meeting came along it would be cancelled at the last minute so we decided to concentrate on getting records released and spread our message that way. The first record of course was the Last Chance compilation which we did 2 songs for "Violence, Rape & Murder" and "New Europe" we also recorded another two tracks "Race & Nation and "Keep Britain White" which were to appear on Last Chance Volume 2 but the Belgium Police force decided to raid the record studios and confiscate the master copies so it unfortunatly never made it onto record. I left B.S. in 1994 when my kids Victoria and Allan were born as i had little time to rehearse and i wanted to look after them properly.
You know what happen today to the other past and later from you, members of the band? They still active?
I have since lost touch with the other members of the band but i did meet Sim the bassist a few years ago and he had joined a reserve army unit. I have no idea who is active anymore but i know wherever they are they are still proud white patriots.
What you know about other Scotish bands like: Skin Deep and Condemned? Theres any other more quiet R.A.C band from Scotland?
Nemesis was the band that arose from the ashes of B.S. and became very successful, i dont know much about any other bands that came from Scotland since we spilt but i wish them all the best.
You was member or supporter in any political party? What your experience? What about marches on the streets?
I was a member of various Right wing parties first the National Front (NF) then left and joined the British Movement (BM). I would rather not talk about the many marches and battles we had in those early years with the communists but lets just say we are undefeated!!
B&H and Ian Stuart, your thoughts, experience and contacts with this great ns movement?
One of my biggest regrets in life is that i never got the chance to get to know Ian Stuart very well, i met him only once for a few minutes after a gig in London but the man was an inspiration to all of us with his "Never give up the fight" attitude, and he now sits with Gods in Valhalla. I have been a Blood & Honour member since it was started by Ian Stuart and i always will be. People tell us that we are in the minority but my message to them is beware because "The Minority are Everywhere".
Can you tell us some things that we don’t know about British Standard? And what other unreleased songs you have wrote or practice?
One unknown fact about B.S. is that all our T-shirts and posters were designed and made by my wife Gillian she spent all her time on them and had to make many t-shirts to keep up with the demand at the time. She even made posters for Battle Zone and No Remorse when they came to play in Scotland.
We have got a few unheard and unreleased tracks hidden away that i will be give to Glory Days of R.A.C for download.
How is the today world order in your eyes, what you wish for the future and what you believe?
The world is in a global mess and in my opinion we need a cultural and physical uprising by the white working class Europeans to bring down the corrupt left wing politicians that control most of Europe. I hope this will happen soon so that we can hand over the future of the white race to our children and grand children.
Can you tell us the meaning of the song New Europe? What believe for the today situation in Europe?
New Europe was about the collapse of Communism in eastern Europe, i was so inspired by the efforts of the our brothers in East Germany, Russia, Poland etc who had the courage to attack and bring down the hated communist regimes that i had to write a song about it. I like the song as it has a strong message and i hope our Hellenes fans like it as well.
Which was your first R.A.C gig that you watch and which was a normal gig? What kind of music you like most?
I don't actually have a favourite R.A.C gig but i would say that any Skrewdriver or No Remorse gig was always memorable for one reason or another. I still enjoy listening to all the old White Power music and of course a new band for me No Surrender, you are lucky to have such a good band in Hellas.
With which other bands you played in the period you was in vocals duties?
I played in a few bands before and after B.S., i started as a drummer with a band called Young Offenders then became a singer as i was so bad at drums! i also sang with Final Solution and The Slugs but only B.S. produced anything worth listening to.

Thank you very much brother for this interview. Please closed the interview with your oppinion about Glory Days of R.A.C site and what you know about our country. I wish you all the best for your family! Regards! 14!
Thanks Albert for giving me the chance to speak for B.S. The effort you and others are putting into No Surrender and Glory days of R.A.C is a credit to you all. I actually know quite a lot about your country as i enjoy reading History and Hellas has some of the most interesting history in the world, my favourite is the story of King Leonidas and the Spartans at Thermopylae. I have visited Crete twice and Zante and i hope one day to visit Athens. Good Luck to all my Hellenes Brother and Sisters. Keep the Faith as one day our day will come and the world will tremble when the white men of Europe cry out in one voice! "Tomorrow Belongs To Us".
