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

Redemption
Useless ID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run away. It's time to break the silence.
You've been in decline for far to long
Seven days you lie awake at night
It's over when you reach the other side.

Don't wait around for someone to leave behind the weight you had to carry
That day may never come.
It's not to late to save you now.

you'll have to make it on your own.

Run away this time,
not a fear inside you will survive,
hope will set you free

Don't wait around for someone to leave behind the weight you had to carry
That day may never come.
It's not to late to save you now.
you'll have to make it on your own.

Can you dig a tunnel through the wall? help yourself find a way out.
Can you dig a tunnel through the wall? help yourself find a way out.
Can you dig a tunnel through the wall? help yourself find a way out.
Can you dig a tunnel through the wall? help yourself find a way out.
find a way out.

Can you dig a tunnel through the wall? Sing the song of redemption.

Don't wait around for someone to leave behind the weight you had to carry
That day may never come.

It's not to late to save you now.
For eternity.

@Timothy Rankin agreed, loved this band since i found them 10+ yrs ago. Grew up on good punk bands like these guys. Feeling nostalgic, pumped, and bummed that bands like these guys are rare and the good ones i see locally or play with don't get the praise they deserve. Punk will never die! Cheers Mates!
