In November 2007, just as Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas were flying to Annapolis, Maryland, I was on my way to Tel Aviv.

For two weeks, I followed some of Israel's most accomplished garage punk musicians and was amazed by their love for and knowledge of rock and roll.

The photos and article later ran in Maximumrocknroll #302 (July 2008) but you can download it here.
