For my blog, I wanted to highlight a very geographical band, so I have decided to choose Useless I.D.
They are a four piece hardcore punk band, formed in Haifa, Israel (no joke) in 1994. In the band there is:
Yotam Ben-Horin - Vocals
Ishay Berger - Guitar
Guy Carmel - Guitar
Yonatan Harpak - Drums
When they first started out, they were at the forefront of the Israeli Hardcore Punk scene. They released two albums under their independent record label 'Falafel Records'. They toured North America, Europe and Japan. They got their breakthrough though in 1999, when they recorded a split album with The Ataris for Kung Fu Records. Their song 'Too Bad You Don't Get It' was featured on Fat Wreck Chords (owned by NoFx's Fat Mike) compilation: Short Music for Short People. their song 'State of Fear' was featured alongside Green Day and Foo Fighters on Rock Against Bush, Vol 2.
The band has become truly worldwide, playing tours in the UK, where they played on Trafalgar Square, Japan and China.
On October 18 2008, the band returned to Israel for a special release of their new album 'The Lost Broken Bones'.
