We are a budding group of skinheads in Prescott, AZ. We
beleive in educating people about racism, and to teach that not all skinheads are
and nazis. We enjoy Oi/Punk music,

ska music,

and reggae music.

WARNING: THIS PAGE IS NOT FOR ANYONE WHO RAMS THEIR POLITICS DOWN ANYONE'S THROAT IN THE
NAME OF SKINHEAD. THIS PAGE IS ALSO NOT FOR QUEER MAN-WHORES WITH A SKINHEAD FETISH.
THIS WEBSITE IS FOR NON-POLITICAL SKINHEADS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN THE MUSIC,
THE LOYALTY AND THE PRIDE.
UPDATE 2/28/04: Sorry guys, but we're changing the website. We do not wish to
identify with the SHARP group anymore. It has become too politically corrupted by
liberal ideas, communism,
and it is very far from the crews of '69. We are still skinheads , we're just changing
the look of our website and patches. We still believe in the same traditional skinhead
values, but we want to distance ourselves from political skinhead groups such as
Red Anarchist SkinHeads, and political SHARP chapters.
We are thinking of names for our new crew as I type this, and if you want to give us
comments or criticisms,
remember that you are always welcome. For now, there are only a few of us, and we encourage you
to start your own chapter.
You have to be a skin to be in our chapter, and you have to sport a positive
attittude. We are very loosley organized, and we
have yet to get patches made.
Here are a few S.H.A.R.P. patches:

What is a Skinhead?
The look takes after the dock worker's look, in which they
were required to wear steel-toe boots and shave thier heads.
In the late '60's, some members of the "Mod" cult started to
separate from it, due to the facts that the look was becoming
more and more expensive, and because the cult was becoming
largley dominated by hippies. A small group of hooligans,
known as "Hard Mods" began to dress differently, crop their
hair short, and act tougher. They would be known as Skinheads.
In the early seventies, a few elements were borrowed from
the Rudedoy look, due to the influence of ska and reggae
music. Another large influence on Skinheads was Motown and
Soul music.
In the mid seventies, a fascist group called " the British
National Front" began dressing it's youth as Skinheads, who
frequently went on "Paki-Bashaing" rampages. This
Anti-Immigrant and racist way of life was quite contraty to
the Skinhead way of life. In the late seventies, the Punk
movement had just kicked off, and a new kind of punk was born.
It was the "Oi" movement, named so by journalist Gary Bushell,
a sponsor of the formerly non-racist (now racist) band,
Skrewdriver. In the eighties and nineties, while racist
Skinheads got all the media attention, a group called
SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice was born formed to combat
the Nazi menace influence was started. One founding
member was on the infamous taping of the Geraldo Rivera
show, which featured 2 racist Skinheads. Another long-time
member of S.H.A.R.P. was Opressed member, Roddy Moreno.

What it means to be a skinhead (as far as i'm concerned):
It means enjoying yourself. It means listening to street music, because the
corporate mugs hog the charts. It means backing up a mate even
when you don't agree with the bastard. It means being working
class.It means standing up for what you believe in.
It means having fun.
Skinhead, the spirit of '69!
OTHER INCARNATIONS OF SKINHEAD:
MOD: Mods in the mid-60's began to dress and act slightly
harder when the Hippie movement came around, due to the
fact that a lot of other mods were becoming hippy.

RUDEBOY: Jamaican and West Indian immigrant kids who had money
often enjoyed dancing to ska and reggae music in the dancehalls
wore smart-looking B&W suits, which were a bit too small.

SKINHEAD: Smartly-dressed working class kids began to crop
their hair, wearing boots and braces, Levi's, Ben Sherman's,
Fred Perry's, and act hard and tough allied with rudeboys
and enjoyed ska, reggae, soul, and in '77, Oi (and droogs.)

SUEDEHEAD: A very smart, expensive version of skinhead,
which often involved suits most of the time, a belt instead of
braces, and hair a little bit longer.

SMOOTHIE: We couldn't find a picture for this, but this is a
very expensive version of skinhead, which cut out boots &
braces altogether, instead wearing a suit, brouges, and a
crombie.
BOOTBOY: A harder, gang-y version of skinhead, who wore
butcher's coats with their gang's name on the back, who fought
for territory, and instead of regular skinhead music,
listened to stuff like Elton John and the Who.
