    Well when you think of a nazi band most people tend to remember the exploited as a nazi band because of back before when they were less famous they wore nazi symbols and in their defense alot of punks did wear these symbols to provoke the public if this was a great way of showing punk rocks rebellion spirit in the 70'es i don't think so, but alot of punks did this like sid vicious and that other punk girl Siouixsie from the banshees for example. the exploited did this aswell but people still call them a nazi band because of some photos taken where some fans heil and some more shit like that however i don't think you should call the exploited a nazi band they even say on their website that they don't support facism or nazism or racism in any form but there is also alot of rumors about wattie their lead singer which is complete and utter bullshit after my opinion.

    yeah i think wearing swastikas as a form of 'rebellion' or 'punk fashion' is pathetic anyway and the exploited annoy the shit out of me with there annoying lyrically terrible songs etc, but yeah im not sure about close shave cause ive heard they are a RAC band and have played with nazi bands like skrewdriver and skullhead, and yeah im new to the website :p

    They're a RAC band, and all the RAC bands are at least nationalists if not open racists or nazis. I'm not too familiar with my Oi but a quick google search makes it clear these guys are more than dodgy.

    Welcome by the way. :ecouteurs:

    Close Shave is a RAC band clearly dodgy. They played with dozens of nazis bands (Skrewdriver, Brutal attack, Skullhead, etc) and their shows are full of nazis. Members of Close Shave also formed English Rose, a white power band.
