Loud, brash, and unapologetically Jewish, Punk Rock Hora dives headfirst into the genre-bending, boundary-breaking world of "Jew-punk"—a cultural mashup where Jewish identity meets the raw energy of punk music. Author Michael Croland, the leading chronicler of this niche but electrifying subculture, explores how Jewish artists have used punk as a platform to question tradition, embrace heritage, and forge new, rebellious modes of self-expression.

From bands like Yidcore and Golem to solo acts, zines, and klezmer-infused mosh pits, Punk Rock Hora blends music criticism, personal narrative, and cultural commentary into a high-octane journey through an often-overlooked corner of Jewish creativity. With humor, insight, and deep respect for both punk and Jewish culture, Croland examines how music becomes a vehicle for both protest and pride.

Perfect for readers interested in alternative Jewish culture, music history, and anyone who’s ever wondered what it means to chant the Shema in a studded leather jacket.
