Nowadays, Swedish nazists are more like Ralf Wadmann. Who joined Al Shabaab as one of their leaders.
The band went downhill further when they tossed the two original ladies out.
One wonders what the deal was.
Somebody saw the sign.
Oops, forgot my / sarc sparc
I remember them. They were supposed to be the next ABBA.
Very gay music but they must have been a smash in Europe.
We are lucky enough to be shielded from much of the Euro-tras because it would never make it on our charts. If Hasellhoff can get gold records in Germany then anything goes in Europe, not accounting for talent.
I find it rather amusing that the Swedish music scene consists mostly of throwaway pop acts and extreme metal bands.
I’d expect to hear something like this about a member of, say, Amon Amarth, but not about a guy in Ace of Base.

A-ha guilty of war crimes?
The Cardigans sentenced to death in absentia?
Come to think of it, for some people, Mamma Mia was a crime against humanity.
And what was Roxette trying to tell us with that whole black leather fixation?
Well, this guy obviously was/is (?) scum, but Mr. Shapiro could look into the lyrics of many a U.S. band to find racism.
Well Kurt Waldheim was able to pretty much erase his Nazi past to become Secretary General of the UN.
The best comment about the group was someone who wondered why, at the tail end of the video for The Sign, one of the girls appeared to flick a booger. At the time, he described them as “the biggest thing since ABBA”, except for the booger flicking thing.
