Blue Max is a German right-wing rock band from Schwarzach ( Baden-Württemberg ).
Band history
The group was founded in 2002 on a beer whim. After a few attempts to find a name, they came up with Blauer Max , the German name for one of the highest Prussian orders of merit, Pour le Mérite . In order not to confuse the name with the similar term Strammer Max , the English name Blue Max was chosen . First concerts at private parties made the group known in the Neckar-Odenwald district .
In April 2003, Blue Max recorded the first CD Skinhead Street Rock , which was marketed by the band themselves and Rock Nord magazine . Between 2003 and 2004 the band's website was created, which contributed to the marketing. With a new line-up, the album Von Uns für dich was created . This line-up broke up shortly after the album was released. The group looked for a replacement for about two years, then the third CD United was released on the record label Moloko Plus . A split CD was created in 2007 with the Hungarian band Arrow Cross under the title German-Hungarian Friendship . In 2009 another split CD was recorded with the Croatian skinhead band Big Ed & KG23 and the Finnish Strong Survive .
ideology
Blue Max sees itself as a national band. They were both on the first Projekt Schulhof CD - the resulting CDs were then distributed by Free Comradeships on these - as well as on the new edition of the 2009 schoolyard CD of the NPD . The group mainly writes texts at the intersection between right-wing extremist ideology and generally socially critical texts. The song on the NPD's schoolyard CD has the surveillance state as its theme, while 23 , the song from the first schoolyard CD, takes up the current conspiracy theory about the Illuminati order and connects it with anti-Americanism .
Members of the group are represented in other right-wing extremist bands such as the Strafbataillon, Oi-Rebellen and the National Socialist band Category 18 (18 is the scene abbreviation for AH = Adolf Hitler ).
An indexing application from the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Baden-Württemberg for the CD Skinhead Street Rock was rejected by the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People. The group appears at election campaign events of the NPD and in neighboring countries at various events from the right-wing rock milieu.
On February 20, 2010, the band was arrested and temporarily detained by the police at a Croatian festival. The concert was banned by the Croatian authorities following a complaint from the “Young Anti-Fascists of Zagreb”. There were numerous National Socialist symbols in the concert hall.
