It’s been said that the third time’s the charm, and that’s definitely the case with Useless ID and their latest release, Redemption. After playing songs as fast and short as they possibly could for the first 7 years of the band's existence, Useless ID decided to slow it down for their last record No Vacation from the World, and were pleasantly surprised by what they heard. Inspired by their new found sound, Useless ID decided they wanted to push themselves even further for their next record and take their music to a whole new level.

Like any good band should do, Useless I.D. did their homework and studied their varied musical influences, which range from The Beach Boys to classic English punk and Oi, when it came time to write Redemption. Add to that nearly 2 years of worldwide touring in between Redemption and their last record, the band knew it was finally time to put out their vision of what punk rock should sound like in 2005.

Useless I.D. enlisted the help of super producer Bill Stevenson (Descendents, All) to make their vision a reality and spent a month recording at the famed Blasting Room recording studio in Colorado. With Stevenson at the helm, Useless ID were able to put in the maximum amount of energy and aggression into their songs and create some of their strongest melodies to date. At the base of Redemption there are great songs, fueled by the band’s experiences on tour and living in a place where chaos and trouble are all too common. Stevenson, “the godfather of punk as we know it” according to the band, allowed Useless ID to take their songs from normal pop punk hook-laden, songs about girls-and-love to a new level by mixing in some moodier melodies, impressive vocal harmonies and darker song subjects. The result is Redemption, a record that is set to solidify their place in the pop-punk world for good.

At a time where most bands care more about their look than their musical integrity, and where true punk spirit is absent from the so-called “punk” bands, Useless ID are still all about playing hard, touring harder, and writing & playing the best songs they possibly can. In their own words, “We will tour our asses off in support of Redemption, armed with new drummer "Harpunk" and a case of cheap wine. We hope to see you all at the show.”
