Freygish from Joy by Electric Simcha
In the late-2000s, Philadelphia’s Electric Simcha took on the somewhat unthinkable task of merging the sonic influences of early-80s hardcore with a repertoire of old-world Hasidic melodies. From 2010-12, their Eastern European Jewish–tinged party sound exploded into punk rock basements, squats, and art spaces as well as synagogues and weddings with completely reckless abandon.
