Our Take

Ah, the Israeli punk rockers USELESS ID are back with their latest offering, "Bad Story / Happy Ending." Let's dive in and see if this album is a real page-turner or if it falls flat like a rejected manuscript.

From the get-go, it's clear that these guys have a knack for crafting catchy, anthemic punk rock tunes that stick with you like a catchy chorus. The album kicks off with the roaring opener "Same Old Revolution," setting the tone for the relentless energy that follows.

Tracks like "Land of Idiocracy" and "Insomnia" showcase the band's ability to blend razor-sharp riffs with insightful lyrics that cut through the noise. It's like the Ramones went to a poetry slam and came back with a whole new perspective on life.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "Bad Story / Happy Ending." Songs like "Room of Anger" and "Mitsubishi" inject a healthy dose of humour and self-deprecation into the mix, proving that punk rock can be both introspective and fun at the same time.

Overall, USELESS ID have delivered a solid addition to their discography with "Bad Story / Happy Ending." It may not rewrite the punk rock rulebook, but it's a damn good read for fans of the genre. So grab a copy, crank up the volume, and let these Israeli punks take you on a wild ride through their twisted world. Cheers, mates.

About the artist

Useless ID

Hailing from Haifa, Israel, USELESS ID is not your typical punk rock band. With their infectious blend of melodic hooks and raw energy, they have been tearing up stages around the world for over two decades. Formed in 1994, the band consists of Yotam Ben Horin on vocals and bass, Ishay Berger on guitar, Guy Carmel on drums, and Uri Fink on guitar. With their unique sound that draws influences from bands like Bad Religion and NOFX, USELESS ID has built a dedicated fanbase and a reputation for putting on electrifying live shows. Their discography is a testament to their staying power in the punk rock scene, with standout albums like "Symptoms" and "State is Burning" showcasing their knack for writing anthemic, heartfelt tunes that stick with you long after the music stops. But what sets USELESS ID apart from their peers is their ability to inject humour and wit into their music, often addressing serious topics with a tongue-in-cheek approach that keeps audiences on their toes. Tracks like "Pink Stars" and "Before it Kills" display the band's playful side, while still delivering powerful messages about love, loss, and the complexities of life. With a sound that is equal parts earnest and fun, USELESS ID continues to defy expectations and push boundaries in the punk rock genre. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual listener, one thing is certain: this band is anything but USELESS.
