Ms. Madrak:
Ace of Bass has strong Neo-Nazi roots. Its founder, Ulf Eckberg, had earlier been in a Neo-Nazi band called Commit Suicide. Their songs openly glorified Fascism, the Klan, and race hatred. The bands name is a nod to the Keroman Submarine Base, a U-Boat base.
Not trying to tell you what music to listen to – we all separate art and artist at least occasionally – or else deprive ourselves of some great works.
Still, in case you didn’t know I wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks, Bob. I’ve gotten contradictory stories on this. I haven’t had the time to track it all down, though.
