SS-Kaliert are a German hardcore street punk band, they had been mistaken as a Neo Nazi group as the name has the "SS" as in the Nazi SS. Originally, the band name was "Es Eskaliert" which means “it escalates”, the band decided to replace it with the actual SS-Kaliert name because it was more eye-attractive as a logo.[1]

Every time you turn on the TV, or look in the newspaper, you see things that should not be… something has to be done! For example… politicians [raising] taxes while companies lower the wages – this shows how the world splits more and more into two classes.
