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

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
Ska-p
Quetschenpower (sp?) - Punk af accordion music from Germany.
You need to get into Spanish Hair Metal.
This is great, thanks
Soda Estereo and Aterciopelados - really great LatAm bands
Ferris X Shocky X Swiss – Bullenwagen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMnhNo4SYQcI love Republika, If you like them try Tilt.
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)
Hang Youth (NL)
Love Telefone and Starshooter from France.
Big fan of The Pillows, The Pees, and The Blue Hearts from Japan.
They’re an old band now, but Raga Rockers (Norwegian). Also Dum Dum Boys from same era.
Great question! Looking forward to checking back in here for suggestions later.
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.
