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

Night Shift
Useless ID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No more fucked up stories I won't listen
Just save me your description
Your are in the night shift
Tell me that you had enough of me well
I know you are going through hell
Your are in the night shift
Where you've been
Out the night before

Out of mine
There is a certain kind of people you could meet there
I know you would rather stay there
You are in the night shift
Baby please come home because I miss you
And all I wanna do is kiss you

You are in the night shift
You work in the night shift

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, the lyrics convey a sense of exhaustion and frustration. The singer is tired of hearing "fucked up stories" and doesn't want to listen anymore. They ask the other person to spare them the details and descriptions, as if they have had enough of the negativity. The other person is referred to as being in the "night shift," which could represent a period of darkness or difficulty they are going through.

Moving on to the second verse, it seems like the person being referred to in the song is going through a tough time. The singer acknowledges that they are aware of the struggles the other person is facing and even describes it as being like "hell." The repetition of referring to them as being in the "night shift" suggests a prolonged period of hardship, possibly related to work or personal issues.

The bridge of the song discusses the whereabouts of the person in question. The lyrics ask where they have been, implying that they were out the night before and not with the singer. This suggests a sense of distance or separation between the two. The lyrics also mention a certain type of people they could meet during their nights out, implying that the person being referred to might find comfort or solace in this environment, even preferring to stay there instead of coming home.

In the final verse, the singer expresses their longing for the other person to come back home. They miss them deeply and all they want is to be able to kiss them, indicating a strong emotional connection and desire for their presence. The repetition of them being in the "night shift" suggests that the other person's absence is likely due to work obligations during the night. This could also be interpreted as a metaphor for emotional distance or a relationship that feels disconnected due to the demands of their respective schedules or lifestyles.
