White American Youth

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 abroadFact|date=May 2007, setting a precedent that gained exponentially as the years went on.
