Hello Tel Aviv

Yiddish with a Dash of Pepper

I've been introduced to a new band in my eternal search for Rammstein news. Cultural relevance (which I'm sure is there in spades) aside, Gevolt has so much to offer the world. I found a single paragraph about them here (under Israel), comparing them to Rammstein, and I can see where that came from, but they're a different animal, really, taking an incredibly traditional musical style and turning it utterly upside-down and inside-out. They've basically taken old school Yiddish music and shoved a bunch of pepper up its arse, and it works surprisingly well.

Their album Alef Base is available for free download, but I urge you to pay them if decide to keep it. These guys need to be nurtured.
