End Apathy 'Skinhead' Band: Wade Michael Page Hardcore Group Allegedly Professed Racism
Wade Michael Page was a member of End Apathy, a hardcore band that the Southern Poverty Law Center said espouses white power views.
Wade Michael Page, the man suspected of killing six people at a Sikh temple in suburban Wisconsin, was a member of a racist skinhead band, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Soon after Page was identified as the suspect Monday morning, the SPLC reported that he founded the band End Apathy, which the organization described as a "racist white power" trio.
A MySpace page for the band describes them as an “old school” band with “punk and metal” influences.
“The music is a sad commentary on our sick society and the problems that prevent true progress,” reads a description of the band on the MySpace page.
Page was interviewed in April 2010 by the music website Label 56 -- which the SPLC describes as a "white supremacist website." In the interview, Page said he started the band because he wanted to “figure out how to end people's apathetic ways” and that it would "be the start towards moving forward."
