Genocide Superstars
Encyclopedia
Genocide Superstars was a Swedish
hardcore punk

band. The band was formed in 1994 in Örebro

As the members were veteran parts of the 90's crust/ska/hardcore movement in Sweden, chance is the opposite is true; rather than having right-wing sympathies, they were strongly against it.
