CD Review: They Tried to Kill Us, They Failed, Let's Eat!

They Tried to Kill Us, They Failed, Let's Eat! by Yidcore

Yidcore, the Australian band that is well on its way to gaining fame for its punk versions of traditional Jewish songs, has branched out in their latest disc by doing mostly original music. A new listener must know that Yidcore is an acquired taste. After a pretty negative first draft of this review, a certain AJL editor convinced me to give Yidcore a second chance, and several weeks later I still can’t stop listening. Some lyrics contain foul language, though, so although recommended for more liberal Jewish libraries, a content warning is suggested.
