DESCRIPTION:
Taken from a show with Barseros (before I joined them for Sascha on guitar) on October 15 in 2005. Fuck, is this already almost 10 years ago? On the other hand, I just turned 28 roughly a month before that show. You really should not be much older for that kind of music in public situations, especially, when you have not much else going on. At least I seem kinda well fed. This lineup features "the Origin of the SWAT" (Markus Krieg on drums et moi yelling, as this started out as a 2 piece in a rehersal space in Bad Ems in 1997), as well as Frank (our mascot on left guitar), Coney (on bass guitar) and my Furious Clarity Fanzine partner in crime Christoph Parkinson (right guitar).

The name of the song in the video is "The Frame". I wrote that one with Markus at a rehearsal in maybe half an hour. I think, I even came up with all the guitar riffs. We always recorded these songs immediately in one take and basically never practiced. Some of the songs could of course sound better but anyway, that's what it was and is.

The lyrics to this hardcore punk gem are something one might regret putting on the internet at some point in live, when a future boss finds this video checking out your blog and then your YouTube channel after reading your application. Or worse, when you already got the job. But fuck it, here they are:

"SWAT, SWAT, SWAT, WE ARE THE
SWAT, SWAT, SWAT, WE ARE THE SWAT!

Yeah (so fuck you!) ...

Kill yourself
you fucking piece of shit,
Kill yourself,
you're trying just to fit,
IN THE FRAME!

So fuck you.
You're "gay", you're "disabled",
you're "upper class" and you're a fucking "grown-up"

Yeah!

WHEN YOU'RE DOWN WITH THE SWAT, YOU WILL HAVE SEX A LOT
WHEN YOU'RE DOWN WITH THE SWAT, YOU WILL HAVE SEX A FUCKING LOT!

SWAT! Yeah!"
