Here we have an anarchist punk rock band from Israel with ex-members of South African punk bands Outrage, Clandestine, Skelm Helm, Hasten the Storm... and more (Michal & Rob)
maramara Streisand is a five piece crust and roll band out of Israhell.
We
came together in the winter of 2010 out of a strong need to express our
aspirations in the form of lousy music. Our music is as much a product
of the occupation as any other horrible thing that was born here, but we
have chosen to use our frustration at society to tear down instead of
build even more walls. Band members come from three continents and have
played in lots of obscure and/ or crappy bands everywhere. We are united
by our love of music, vegan food, unicorns and giraffes
But
seriously now: being part of the local punk scene we see the lack of
political content within our community. We do not wish to escape or
ignore the place where we live. We don't want to pretend we live in
Berlin or that we are skating in Oregon. We wish to confront the place
where we live and the mentality of apartheid that surrounds us. This is
not like playing a show in Alabama, thank you very much Mr. Biafra. Our
music may reach a small minority that sometimes find it hard to accept
our direct and radical approach to local politics but our lyrics reflect
our need to confront society on a daily basis.
We don't want want shallow co-existence we want meaningful co-resistan
