Yidcore

Yidcore

Yidcore is a Jewish punk rock band from Australia, known for playing punk covers of Jewish and Israeli songs. Their first self-titled album was released in 2001. Though most of their material is covers, the band started writing more of its own material in later albums.

In 2003 the band arrived at Israel for its first tour of the country, and released the live/rare tracks album "Scrambles: New, Live, Rare and Classic Shtick" to celebrate the tour.

In 2005 the band released a double album, titled "Eighth Day Slice/Fiddlin on ya Roof", via Rubber Records. The band again arrived at Israel for a second tour, and this time released the album "Rocket to Rechovoth" to celebrate the event, in reference to Ramones album "Rocket to Russia", using the Israeli city of Rechovot.

The band's most recent album, titled "They Tried to Kill Us. They Failed. Let's Eat!" was released in 2007, again via Rubber Records. The 16-track album contained only 3 covers of Israeli songs.

In April 2008 Yidcore went on their third Israeli tour, and released a new EP, titled "The Hummusexual E.P.", given away for free with every band merchandise purchased at the tour [cite web |url=http://www.ajn.com.au/news/news.asp?pgID=5276 |title=Punk band YIDcore set for Israel concerts |accessdate=2008-04-22 |author=Darren Levin |date=2008-04-15 |work=The Australian Jewish News] .

The band's logo is a variation of the Ramones logo (which, in its turn, is based on the Seal of the President of the United States), with the names of the band members in Hebrew. The eagle is replaced by a chicken with a menora above its head, the apple tree branch replaced by a shofar, the arrows replaced by the Magen David and the writing "Oy Vey, Let's Eat" instead of "Hey Ho, Let's Go". The band's mascot is a rubber chicken called Scrambles, usually taped to lead singer Bram Presser's microphone on concerts.
