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. Since 2011, the band has been signed to Fat Wreck Chords.

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

Another Bad Taste
Useless ID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spent much time thinking about
What I'm gonna do without you
Now that all my friends are sleeping in

I can find the time to call
This world wouldn't stop at all
I'll ask you, "what have you done yesterday"

Got rid of problems but they
Just keep on getting big
I'm falling into this situation
I've been through
I hope it won't be that way with you
Falling in love again,
A good thing to be
Remembering if it were true

A secret to be kept inside
You're giving it another try
This time you are up against yourself
Do you wonder why?

Everyone's dying to know
Another bad taste to this show
They hope to see you lose
It's how it is

Got rid of problems but they
Just keep on getting big
I'm falling into this situation
I've been through
I hope it won't be that way with you
Falling in love again,

A good thing to be
Remembering if it were true

Line by Line Meaning

Spent much time thinking about
I have spent countless hours contemplating

What I'm gonna do without you
I am pondering how to live without your presence

Now that all my friends are sleeping in
With all my acquaintances asleep, I have some free time

I can find the time to call
I can finally summon the motivation to give you a call

This world wouldn't stop at all
The world's obligations would not wait for my personal matters

I'll ask you, "what have you done yesterday"
I will question your activities of the previous day

Got rid of problems but they
I have solved some issues, but they

Just keep on getting big
Nevertheless, these problems only grow in magnitude

I'm falling into this situation
I have become ensnared in this predicament

I've been through
One I've experienced previously

I hope it won't be that way with you
I pray that you do not face a similar circumstance
