This is a very interesting article about the 90s musical pop group “Ace of Base”.

Actually, that they have ties to the neo-Nazi movement isn’t in dispute, or at all a secret. A few years ago, Vice music editor Ben Shapiro wrote an article that revealed that Ace of Base founder Ulf Ekberg was once in a Nazi punk band called Commit Suiside.

Yah, I read ‘Cracked Magazine’ for the articles.

    burgers when they hear the word “base”:

    Did you read the rest of that section? Keroman was literally the “base of aces.” This isn’t burgers misconstruing stuff, this is someone noticing a bit too many coincidences in a band lead by a straight up neo Nazi

      i think there’s like a 50/50/50 change (for a total of 150%) that it’s either a) a nazi referencing a semi-obscure nazi military base which is gross but no one picked up on the reference anyway or b) the dumb story of a recording studio being called a “base” or c) them meaning to call it “ace of bass” but their english not being good enough to distinguish the homophones “base” and"bass" especially since they translate to the same word in swedish

      not trying to defend some nazi doing shit but i think it’s more likely it’s just shit rather than specifically nazi shit
