To this day, they continue to tour rapidly all over the world, even with Rat splitting his time between them and Discharge. They shared a headlining spot with such acts as Broken Bones, The Adicts, Vice Squad and GBH at the ill-fated British Invasion 2k6 concert festival in San Bernardino, California which ended in mass-rioting and alleged police brutality.
They are currently writing new material for a new album to be released in the near future.
All Systems Fail
The Varukers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's to no avail
All taht the systems doing
You could only fail
All, All, All systems fail, systems fail.
Now that the system is falling to pieces,
Now that the system's failed no more deceiving
The lyrics to The Varukers' song, "All Systems Fail," depict a sense of hopelessness and despair in the face of a failed system. The song speaks to the futile attempts to resist or change a corrupt and oppressive societal structure. The opening line encourages resistance, but it is quickly followed by a sense of resignation in recognizing the inevitable failure of such attempts. The repetition of the phrase "All systems fail" emphasizes the all-encompassing nature of the problem, implying that not only is the political system flawed, but also the economic, social, and cultural systems.
Moreover, the line "Now that the system is falling to pieces" can be seen as the pinnacle of the song's message, suggesting that the system's failure may reach a breaking point, which could lead to breaking down to reform and rebuild. The final line, "No more deceiving," implies a sense of awakening and the end of ignoring and accepting the problems in the hope of change. Overall, the song conveys a sense of desperation and a call to action, not only to fight against the system but also to see and acknowledge its shortcomings.
Line by Line Meaning
You try to fight the system
Even though you try to battle against the existing power structure,
But it's to no avail
Your efforts will inevitably be unsuccessful,
All that the system's doing
Instead, the system is actively propelling itself forward and maintaining its control,
You could only fail
Which means the only possible outcome for your attempts is failure,
All, All, All systems fail, systems fail.
This pattern of failure is not unique to your individual efforts, but a universal truth for all those who challenge the system.
Now that the system is falling to pieces,
However, in rare instances when the system is collapsing from internal or external pressures,
Now that the system's failed no more deceiving
There is an opportunity for change and progress, and the previous falsehoods and illusions of the system can be exposed.

Everyone in the world, especially here in America needs to bring this punk rock back to its original meeting of supporting Anarchy in order to fight against the government. We Millennials and Generation Z's have been put down too long. We've been settling for too much already and enough is enough! ✊
