Everything Went Red
The accusations came following fellow Melbourne band Diploid's decision to drop off a recent show with ES after discovering that ES had previously sold shirts sporting the neo-nazi black sun symbol.
The band also use other symbols associated with neo-nazism, such as the Celtic cross and algiz rune, in their artwork and merchandise. | | 3 |  | Convulsing

Brendan Sloan of Convulsing reported making a similar accusation against Rob in 2017. | | 4 |  | Encircling Sea

03.09.19 | Yea I do recall Sloan commenting about this
The evidence points to some hardcore nationalism so probably yea, but even if Rob magically had some unquestionable counterevidence to the accusations, the Melbourne music Facebook scene won’t let him go unscathed | zakalwe
03.09.19 | If I lived in Australia I’d be nationalist as fuck tbh. Best place on the planet. | Papa Universe
03.09.19 | If I still lived in Australia, I'd hope to be accused of espionage or something and deported somewhere. Worst place on the planet. | zakalwe
03.09.19 | No way, I’m not having that. Tim Tams and meth. | ramon.
