Moshiach Oi

"Moshiach Oi! is the driving beat to the new manifestation of Jewish music today." – Isaac Gealer


Moshiach Oi! is a New York Hardcore band with a full-throated passion for both Torah and Punk Rock.  Educated in Jewish day schools, band founder Yishai Romanoff as a teenager gravitated to the Punk Rock scene, where he found an outlet for his manic energy and passionate beliefs.   In 2008, after rediscovering his Jewish roots, Yishai began writing hardcore-punk songs with subject matter like learning Torah, bringing Moshiach and praising Hashem.  Originally, Yishai was the only member of Moshiach Oi!

"The name of the group can be traced to the roots of punk, which began in the late ’70s when bands like the Sex Pistols and the Ramones began playing loud and fast lo-fi garage rock. Soon, a new genre of punk called Oi! emerged to represent the British working class. Thirty years later, lead singer Yishai Romanoff, who was originally the only member of Moshiach, used Oi! as a double entendre (Oy, from the Yiddish phrase Oy Vey, is described by the band as the eternal sound of the Jewish working class) " – The Forward

“Oi!” = the Punk Rock sound of the British working class

“Oy!” = the eternal sound of the Jewish working class

Moshiach Oi! = the new sound of Jewish Hardcore Torah Punk Rock
