PC Records is a German Neo-Nazi music label. The label is an artistic outlet for the Chemnitz Neo-Nazi scene and one of the most active of the far-right and "Rock Against Communism" music scene in Germany. PC Records is releasing some of the most regionally popular Neo-Nazi bands. Several of the albums released by the label have been indexed for Neo-Fascist content. The label includes a shop and a mailorder business. The name "PC" refers to the phrase "Political Correctness, no thanks!"[1]
According to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz Sachsen), PC Records "has a high reputation in the right-wing extremist scene at home and abroad. Its turnover is estimated at several hundred thousand euros per year. The profits enable business owners not only to make a living, but also to finance and promote scene activities."[2]
