Does Blitzkreig Bop ever get old?
So what I am nattering about with a title like that? Torah based punk rock and who fracking knew? The Jewish Forward Online:
Like their forefathers, members of punk band Moshiach Oi! have great reverence for the Moshiach, or Messiah. The only difference is that these punk rockers have traded in their walking sticks for thrashing guitars.
In their debut album, “Better Get Ready,” Moshiach Oi! has found a divine balance of religion and rock. Released on August 25, the album uses the traditional punk sound of raucous guitars and boisterous vocals to explore Jewish ideals and values. “Get Ready” includes original songs like “All Praise” and “I Wanna Learn Torah,” as well as Moshiach’s unofficial tribute songs to the Jewish people such as “Shabbos” and “Am Yisroel Chai”— the former celebrating Shabbat as “Hashem’s Holy Day,” the latter a rallying cry for Israel. However, the highlight of the album comes on “Shema Yisroel,” which turns into a rowdy version of the traditional prayer.
I found the ‘Better Get Ready’ video at You Tube:
I did find this intro at You Tube….
I am not sure any of these vids are particularly ‘work safe’ and now I am questioning whether one can every be ‘ready’ but – do I feel old….
