Useless ID

watch Useless ID's video for Ramones tribute "We Don't Want The Airwaves"

Everyone’s favorite Israeli skate punk band, Useless ID, returned earlier this month with their eighth album, State Is Burning, on Fat Wreck Chords. It was produced by Black Flag/Descendents’ Bill Stevenson and his Blasting Room studio partner Jason Livermore, and it features the Ramones tribute “We Don’t Want The Airwaves” (named, of course, after “We Want The Airwaves.”) That song has guest vocals from Ray Carlisle of fellow Ramones lovers Teenage Bottlerocket, and it also includes a tribute to Ray’s brother/TBR drummer Brandon, who passed away last year. The video for the song premieres below, alongside a full stream of the album. If you’ve gone this long without ever listening to Useless ID but you like, say, Against Me, you should check this out.
