Gimlaim Yotzrim - Demo (2002?)
How can anything be so shitty and the same time so awesome? In many ways, this band really sucked. They didn't know how to play, and in their demo the bass is too loud and the singing is way too low. On the other hand, the lyrics and the concept was genius, their singer was great, and it wasn't their fault that they were only seventeen at the time. Here's what they had to say about themselves:
Formed in order to aid and cherish Jerusalem's creative senior citizens society, Gimlayim Yotsrim are - arguably, the most influential metal bands to emerge in the proximity of Ziv and Ort high schools. Spreading their notorious lifestyle and strange habits among the tender teenagers of Jerusalem, the Band's Musical Influences varies from the German Based "Damburger", through the infamous "Streitberg" to the band's favorite, the Belgian "Martin's Pielsner". With its pro-elders lyrics, the band sees itself as the voice of many senior citizens who are left alone by the anti-elders government, ruled by the evil Prime Minister Sharon, and his staff of evil, heartless assistants.
The band's leading vocalist explains: "What the hell are you talking about!? This has nothing do to with Sharon, his staff of evil, heartless assistants or any other political matters. Really. We just got REALLY bored one day, and needed to find other ways to spend perfectly good money on rehearsals"
The bands way to create music had been described as "Weird" by anyone who watched it. Fatzy, the bands Bass player, sheds some light on the somewhat bizarre technique used by Gimlayim Yotsrim: "what we were originally trying to do
was to merge between the traditional Neo-Nostalgic golf - in its mainstream
interpretation, and Abady-Classica beer style. Sadly, all we got was this junk. But I like it. I think this junk - more than anything else, sets the Gimlayim aside from any other band. They can play - we can't. This is the core of the Gimlayim, in my opinion.
And so, if hadn't been caught by secret agents in the supermarket, or by the raging mob that always seems to hunt them down, the Gimlayim Yotsrim band members continue to roam the streets of the holy city of Jerusalem. And there is no stopping them.

HaSarut - Assorted videos (2006-2010)
This might be a bit of an exaggeration, but i just couldn't help myself and had to do a follow up post. The truth is, i became aware of HaSarut through his video clips on youtube and by finding out he participated in the israeli version of "who's got talent". Later i also found a short film that was made about him and also an interview that is really funny. HaSarut also did three Youtube TV shows, which are bizarre, but they also contain more video clips to songs from his album. After watching all this crazy shit, i really felt compelled to share. Check it!.

Weird and crass electro-punk songs about killing people, hot chicks, drugs and donkeys. If this isn't punk, i don't know what is.

Jericho's Echo - Punk Rock In the Holy Land
This is probably the worst documentary that was ever made about the israeli punk scene. In my opinion, the creators of the film just didn't spend the required time in the country to collect footage and to learn about what was going on with the scene at the time, so they had to invent a story that will tie everything together into one plot line. The only reason to watch this film, is if you want to see how cute I was when I was 17. For a better documentary about israeli punk, I recommend Isvey Pere 1 & 2, but since each documentary contains footage of different bands in different times, I decided it's worth mentioning this film on my blog. The rest of this post was shamelessly ripped off the Radical Library:
"Mohawks, stage diving, fists flying. Homemade band t-shirts, circle pits, singalongs. These scenes are not unfamiliar; They have flooded pop culture imagery for over 25 years. The punk rock ethos gains new relevance in Israel when band members' choices are often between picking up a guitar or picking up a gun.
Jericho's Echo introduces us to some of the colorful characters of the little-known Israeli punk scene, and gives us insights into their lives through interviews, verite' scenes, and live musical footage. The young people in these bands represent the future of this important region, and their views are not those usually portrayed by the mainstream media.
A topic that figures greatly in these young punks' lives is the decision of whether or not to fulfill their mandatory military service. One of the only ways to avoid service is to undergo evaluation by the Military Psychiatrist and be legally deemed psychotic. This is the route that many punks have decided to take. The implications of this decision are thoughtfully covered in the documentary, along with topics ranging from the Israeli Religious Right, to suicide bombings and the future of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Ultimately, Jericho's Echo displays a positive message by showing the perseverance of these relative outcasts to make their art and make changes in society despite the pressures to conform and the difficulties of living in a seemingly un-ending war zone."

Pizzi Fist - Videos
Pizzi Fist is a solo project of jon c, an american jew that "made alliya", started a band, but couldn't find anyone to play with. Even though he doesn't speak hebrew, all his songs are written in his very own special hebraic dialect. But why beat around the bush.. look at his clips and you'll understand why this is ingenious.
