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, a well-known British white
power rock band.
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. A live Final Solution performance at
the compound of Bill Riccio also appeared the documentary film Soldiers of
the Race War.
