Rock Against Communism

[2] The Rock Against Communism movement originated in the United Kingdom in late 1978 with far right activists associated with the National Front (NF).

[3] The first RAC concert was in Leeds, England in 1978, featuring the Nazi punk bands The Dentists and The Ventz.

[citation needed] RAC held one concert in 1979 and another in spring 1983, which was headlined by Skrewdriver, a white power rock band led by Ian Stuart Donaldson.

In the mid-1980s, summer concerts were often held at the Suffolk home of Edgar Griffin, a Conservative Party activist[4] and father of Nick Griffin, an NF organiser who later became the national chair of the British National Party.

By the late 1980s, the RAC name had given way to the White Noise Club (another NF-based group), and later Blood and Honour, which was set up by Donaldson when they fell out with the NF leadership.
