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

Same Story Someone New
Useless ID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same story here it goes, more hard times falling in love.
Even the best doesn't seem to please me.
A guardian angel left my broken heart in hell.
I thought I was over it, but I'm not.

Sometimes on Valentine's, I get someone new in mind.
I think I've fallen for the wrong girl.

That time of year again, when relationships all end.
I find myself with my friends alone again,
Feeling down on God Knows what?
I don't even care about doing the right thing too many times (when I should).

The past repeats itself.
The future brings me someone else.
I wish it was all different but, for now I'll manage.
Somehow with what I've got,
Hold to it till it's gone and maybe then I'll find the right one.

This concludes with my life and now I hope you get well soon.

Maybe we'll meet again next year.
We'll all be here
