Biography

Useless ID is a four-piece punk-rock band hailing from Haifa, Israel. Like any other band, they started playing shows in their country. However, it wasn’t until they started flying to California to play shows when they began to get international recognition. They created their own record label called Falafel Records, named after their favorite food. Eventually The Ataris came to hear of Useless ID’s material. They liked it and offered to do a split EP under their previous record label, Kung Fu Records. Useless ID eventually got signed under Kung Fu Records themselves and have released three more subsequent records on that label. One of their songs, called “State of Fear”, is featured in the Rock Against Bush, Vol. 2 compilation. In 2008, Suburban Home Records put out “The Lost Broken Bones”, a solid 12 track album that hearkens back to the glory days of pop-punk, although it was darker, heavier and more aggressive than any of the band’s previous efforts. In 2009, the band recorded an album in Hebrew with Israeli reggae/hip hop artist Mookie, due for release sometime in the future. The band is currently working on their next album, which they plan to release around mid-2010.

Band members:
* Yotam Ben Horin - Bass, Lead Vocals
* Ishay Berger - Lead Guitar, Backing Vocals
* Guy Carmel - Rhythm Guitar, Backup Vocals
* Yonatan Harpak - Drums, Percussion

    I still think Lost Broken Bones was the best album.

    Possibly the best support band Die Toten Hosen have picked for awhile, I'm really looking forward to see both of them touring together :)

    Dorian: Pop-punk covers a wide variety of music that includes bands that have no relation to poppier bands like the ones you mentioned. The album is pretty much straight up pop-punk

    I heard them for the first time just before they released Symptoms and I have to say that they're my the best discovery in 2012 so far. A big credit to Useless ID!

    I would not define "Symptoms" as a "Pop-punk" record; it has nothing to do with Fall out Boy, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Mest and so on...these guys are growing, experimenting, and their last album is a real bomb, sweet melodies, great lyrics and a vibrant energy. Well done.

    Worst album of their career, damn shame. I was hoping Fat would reignite their flame.

    Such a great album. I expected more fast songs because you are now on Fat Wreck, but it's so good anyway!
