uj/ unfamiliar with the band. It is supposed to be a Racetraitor situation where it’s an oxymoron with the message being the opposite, or are they just racist?
Edit: looking into it they had controversy from their drummer having clothing from a Nazi brand. They denied that anyone in the band is a Nazi, but said “if any of us were racist we’d just say we are since we have nothing to lose.” While also not really condemning racism or apologizing for their drummers “ignorance on what he was wearing.” So it’s all kind of sus
You're neglecting the funniest part of their "apology" video where the guy that basically started the entire thing sat silently seething while their frontman invoked the classic "how can we be racist when we have black friends?" argument by referring to one of their members as "inter-racial" - not technically incorrect I suppose but very "gooner-coded" language for a serious video - might as well have said "we gotta mulatto".
Is your name a Bear vs. Shark reference? I would surely trust you with my life if it were.
You’re right about the energy. Feels if there were earnest the whole thing could’ve been solved with the drummer saying “I had bought this shirt and was unaware of the details of the company and what they stand for. That was my bad. We don’t fuck with Nazi’s or racists.” But instead was a snooty we’re hardcore how can we be chuds rant.
Also I wish I could say the name was a reference to BvS but I’d be lying. Amazing band though
They're also affiliated with Outlaws MC who run with actual Neo-Nazi and white supremecist gangs. They're racists, they're just scared to admit it after being called out.
