Escuadrón 88

1 - when, where and why you forms Escuadron 88 ? Which is the current alignment of the band?

Escuadron88 was formed in the city of Montevideo, in the month of February of 1999. The band was formed, for the simple reason, that here the movement skin doesn't exist and I believe that the one that a band musical skin exists, would help to that the movement was developed in our country. The current formation is Alejandro (the skinny) in guitar, Luis (the crazy) & Richard (the head) in drums and Sebastián (the Celtic) in screams.

2 - how would you define your sound? With which bands could compare you?

Newly we begin with what we are beginning to discover our sound. We will treat that it is an primitive oi! with touches Hardcore. Us would like to be defined as Hatecore. There are many bands that they have influenced me: Division 250, Zetme 88, Torquemada1488, Comando Suicida, BdC, Final Solution, Hatemonger, Dying Breed, The Brawlers, Londinium SPQR, and of course Skrewdriver.

3 - in that you are inspired when you write the songs? Which are your thematic favorite when composing a song?

I am inspired, in the raw reality. In as our white race, road goes to their destruction and nobody makes anything to avoid it. I am inspired by my hate, against the corrupt and homosexual political class. My thematic ones favorite, it is on the movement skin, pagan and historical topics (the history of my race, is something that inspires me enough), etc.

4 - if you had to choose 2 or 3 of your songs like the best, which would they be and that they speak?

At the moment we have only five songs: Guerrerps Urbanos (Urban Warriors) that speaks on the fight in the streets; Escuadron Anti-gay (Squadron Anti-Gay), expressed our homofobia and hate against it seals it homosexual; Always Faithful, dedicated to the skinhead movement; Wolves of Odin, a tribute to the warring gods of the north; Beer, you already imagined that she speaks.

5 - which your ideological bases are? Which are your models political and favorite revolutionaries?

I am Skinhead. For my the Skin is nationalist and racist. Ideologically, the National German Socialism and the White Nationalism of David Lane, is doctrines with which I have many points in common. No Doubt Adolf Hitler, David Lane y Ramiro Ledesma, are my favorite models political-revolutionaries.

6 - you think that the music is a good element to spread the NS ideology? That you think of those that say that the music Skin is single noise strident and doesn't anything have to do with the Nacionalsocialism?

As Ian Stuart said: "A pamphlet you read it and later you throw it to the garbage. A song learns it and you remember it forever". On those that they criticize our music, to tell them that the inquisition against the rock, I finish a while ago. If something has to do with the NS?, with the German NS of the ' 30, of course that not, but we are living another time and another situation. I don't live off the memories, the future is our and to inclination of our music, we will give our message.

7 - that you think about the power that it manages the press in this globalizated world?

The press, is a center of liars, degenerate and mercenaries. The press works to the service of the system and of the world power. The doesn't exist it press objective, they say what the money sends. Here in Uruguay, the press make a great circus on us. They said that we were as 500, we had a war arsenal! and not you how many stupidities. Who us they know they know that here this newly begins and that we are few. And our guns at the moment they have been the work and the will to form a movement in our country. My only message to the press, is that Our vengeance will be as the death, they won't be able to her to avoid.

8 - you was made a skinzine called "Orgullo Skinhead" ("Skinhead Pride") that now there is replaced by Direct Action" which are the changes in the publication besides the name? For that decided to stop to make "Orgullo Skinhead."

The changes of the zine, on one hand they are the format, this it is 1/2 letter. The new 'zine has bigger quantity of pages, and the articles are varied. On the one movement skin, interviews, political texts, and reviews of CDs, beers and films. "Orgullo Skinhead" had a year of history, they were taken out 13 numbers. One stops to make for several reasons: 1 - legal: Us now we have the possibility to distribute our zine, in stores of CDs, and as there was a penal accusation against "Orgullo Skinhead", we had that to change the name. 2-because this new zine, is different in format, in rhythm and because it has been worked many but seriously in their edition and distribution.

9 - which your are ' favorite zines? That you say of Romper Stomper?

I like all, because all contribute a grain of sand to our cause and movement. I have read several as Volksturm, Fénix, 20/04, Vitoria, Imperio Blanco, Thor's Hammer, Hispaniaoi, Respuesta Sonora, ISB, etc. About Romper Stomper, the argument in if it is a piece of shit, but I like those violent scenes and the music of the movie. I like movies violent as Romper Stomper or Clockwork Orange.

10 - they would like to play in September in Bs.As., in the Ian Stuart Memorial Concert?

Of course, and for several reasons, we would be the first band RAC foreigner in playing in BA and in second place because we want some to play live, we are a band to play live.

11 - something more to add?

Thanks to Fénix for the interview and a greeting for all the skinhead warriors around the world. 14/88 SKINHEADS Oi!!!
