JARADA

Jarada, a hardcore punk band hailing from Tel Aviv/Jaffa, Israel, has gained attention with their intense and politically charged music. Their name, "Jarada" (חרדה), translates to "anxiety," reflecting the emotional depth and social commentary in their lyrics. The band draws inspiration from pioneering Israeli political punk bands such as Nikmat Olalim and Dir Yassin. In 2023, Jarada released their album *No Co-Existence With... Jarada*, which tackles sensitive topics like government oppression and religious extremism with a fierce blend of scorching riffs and relentless tempos. This album is notable for its raw, authentic portrayal of hardcore punk today, with most tracks sung in Hebrew and often lasting less than a minute.
