Do you know any jewish Rock bands that play harder music than Matisyahu?

Question

I wanna listen to some Jewish Rock bands that have powerful jewish meanings but im looking for something..... a little bit harder than matisyahu like more intense and faster music. do you any bands like this?

Answer 1

Let's see.... Harder like Heavy Metal? You might consider The Makkabees:

They take Jewish classics and perform them in a much heavier style. Too me, they come across as being much too angry sounding. You can get 3 full songs in MP3 from the above website as a sampling.

Goin' Chassidish:
http://www.GoinChassidish.com/
is another fairly heavy group, but their lyrics leave much to be desired in my opinion.

Shlock Rock might not be as heavy as what you are looking for:

but they have great lyrics and are frequently quite funny.

David Lazzar claims to be a Lubuvitch combination of "Ozzy meets Metallica at an Iron Maiden concert":

In their time the Moshav Band was somewhat heavy:

As was the Diaspora Yeshiva Band:

Diaspora was variable, sometimes Bluegrass, sometimes a Grateful Dead 1960's throwback. Might not be heavy enough for you. But they do some great guitar work.

Also Piamenta:

Again, might not be hard enough for you, they are something of a Jam Band, but very talented.
