The VarukersThe Varukers are an anarchist hardcore punk band formed in 1979 by vocalist Rat. The Varukers originally split in '88 as the various members went their separate ways. But in '93 vocalist Rat decided to put the band back together. Stylistically their music resembles the traditional UK82 style exemplified by bands such as GBH and The Exploited. Since the band had former members of Discharge, a definite D-beat sound developed as time went on. The band has gone through many line-up changes over the years with the only constant member being Rat on vocals. They have recently released a retrospective CD on SOS Records.

Still 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 this year's 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
