Agitator is a German right-wing rock band from Göttingen .
history
The band was formed in January 2004. In their lyrics, the band glorifies the Nazi ideology, but always without making any statements relevant to criminal law. Agitator was represented with the song Football Rioting on the sound carrier, The Football Sampler, produced for the 2006 Football World Cup . The sampler glorifies hooligans and violence. The public prosecutor's office in Bremen led u. a. brought proceedings against agitator for public incitement to criminal offenses and sedition .
Agitator appears again and again at right-wing extremist events, including at the state party conference of the Thuringian NPD in 2005 and the German voice press festival of the NPD in 2006 with around 7,000 visitors.
In 2005 Agitator played together with the bands Die Lunikoff Conspiracy , Odins Law , English Rose and Gegenenschlag at the NPD state party conference in the Pößnecker Schützenhaus in front of more than 1000 neo-Nazis.
The band member Tino Schubert had secured the name "Hardcore" at the patent office as a word mark in February 2009, which caused considerable uproar in the left-wing scene. Schubert is also a founding member of the neo-Nazi band Hauptkampflinie (HKL) and owner of the neo-Nazi shipping company Der Versand . Schubert and Oliver Keudel played together with Hannes Ostendorf , a founding member of the scene size Category C , in the band project Category C - Hungry Wolves (also KC - Hungry Wolves).
Guitarist and singer Oliver Keudel also appears solo at “ballad evenings” and rallies. Agitator also played at a Nazi demonstration in October 2006 for the imprisoned Landser singer Michael "Lunikoff" Regener in Berlin. Keudel was arrested for sedition because the band played the song I stay Nazi for all time .
Most of the band's fans come from the violent radical right-wing scene. Among them is the arsonist and Dennis L. from Lauenstein, who was accused of attempted murder . He was part of the trio that in 2015 threw an incendiary device into the living quarters of a sleeping refugee family in Salzhemmendorf .
