Useless ID is a punk rock band from Haifa, Israel, known for blending melodic hardcore with emotionally charged lyrics. Formed in 1994, they gained international attention after signing with Kung Fu Records and collaborating with bands like The Ataris and producing with Bill Stevenson of The Descendents. Over the years, Useless ID has built a loyal global fanbase through relentless touring and a discography that spans introspective punk anthems to politically driven tracks.

I got Yotam on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

Seeing Kid Dynamite in a New Brunswick Basement show
Kris Roe
Moving away from the Fat Wreck drum beat
Being on Kung Fu Records
Sugarcult
Doing mushrooms at a festival
Sharing a tour bus with The Used
Bill Stevenson punching him in the stomach
Did they like being on Fat even though the label sound changed
A tip from Tony Sly that he still uses to this day
Why they’re not currently playing
The Pixies story
And a ton more

Check out his label California Sounds.
