It’s that time of year again, a Sunday where I’m bored and want to listen to some interesting music
What are your favourite rock bands from places besides the U.S., Britain Australia, etc?
For reference, I am currently enjoying the following artists:
- Bjornarna, Asta Kask (Swedish)
- Die Toten Hosen, Die Artze (German)
- Kult, Republika (Polish)
- Metro Luminal (Estonian)
- BTR (Bulgarian)
- Kino, Bi-2 (Russian)
- Indochine, Telefone, Luke (French)
Doesn’t necessarily need to be from where you were from, just nice music to jam to!
Québec has an interesting music scene for complicated cultural reasons. Elephant Stone is one of my favorites, like if George Harrison was from Montreal

Quetschenpower (sp?) - Punk af accordion music from Germany.
In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Feuerschwanz, Lord or the Lost, Orden Ogan, Brothers of Metal, Faun, D’Artagnan
I’ll add more later
To categorize all of them are roughly in the Folk Rock / Middle Ages Rock category.
Thanks
Hang Youth (NL)
For German bands I really enjoy Kaput Krauts and Das Flug who did a joint album about 10 years ago where they covered each others songs.

Ferris X Shocky X Swiss – Bullenwagen:

Fahnenflucht “Wer Wind sät wird Sturm ernten” is one of my favourite punk/metal albums of all time.
Otoboke Beaver - Japanese (songs are a mix of Japanese and English)
Death Pill - Ukrainian (but sing in English - used to have some songs in Russian, but they re-wrote them)
Glintshake — post-punk / indie-rock, with some jazz on the albums. Iirc earlier albums are noisier, but I prefer ones starting with the incomprehensibly-titled ‘Oeshch Margziu’. (Also the guitarist Evgeny Gorbunov is the main dude in Inturist.)
Andre Antunes with Nooran Sisters — ‘If System of a Down were from India’ — he has similar mashups over various other Indian and Pakistani singers. And e.g. ‘Māori Haka in NZ Parliament goes metal’.
Therion’s ‘Les Fleurs du Mal’ album and the ‘Les Épaves’ EP consist of covers of sixties-seventies French pop.
Angine de Poitrine are currently very popular, they’re from Québec and play microtonal math-rock. If you peruse the music@lemmy.world community, you’ve most certainly seen them.
Gromyka — hilarious indie-pop playing on some Soviet-era imagery.
Fedul Zhadny — 90s-style punkish rock and synth-punk, he’s in NOM since 2014.
I’ve recently discovered The Original Noiseketeers, a Dutch band that has only a few tracks on YouTube from various years. The music is acid/psychedelic rock and dub.
Peter Cat Recording Co. — Indian jazzy indie-rock. This album is mellow, other ones might be more interesting for you, but iirc they don’t quite reach into punk territory.
By the way, check out Sun City Girls. They’re from the US, but they incorporated Arabic motifs in their music, which is often noisy ruckus, particularly on the earlier records.
For Croatian I’d recommend:
- Opća opasnost - Treba mi nešto jače od sna (Lyrics in English)
- M.O.R.T - Na cesti
- Hladno pivo - Superman (Lyrics in English)
- Film - Ti zračiš zrake kroz zrak
Slovak: Horkýže Slíže - Silný refrén (Lyrics in English)
Honningbarna, Norwegian.
