What are your favourite rock/Punk/similar bands, preferably non-English?

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!

I've tried searching for "Love Telephone" (in quotes) on Qwant, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, FreeTube and even Google, and I cannot find any relevant results to save my life. Do you have a link for them?

Québec has an interesting music scene for complicated cultural reasons. Elephant Stone is one of my favorites, like if George Harrison was from Montreal

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)

Fahnenflucht "Wer Wind sät wird Sturm ernten" is one of my favourite punk/metal albums of all time.

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 151d (3 replies)

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.

Math rock is a thing? Quick search tells me that unfortunately it's not actually about (aboot) mathematics, darn. Pretty neat music though!

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 148d

Dunno how you missed the existence of math rock. It's pretty much prog rock married to hardcore punk, and is mostly about complex and changing time signatures, so the folks have to count stuff all the time. As someone has put it, "it's unclear how the musicians know where in the song they are".

Check out The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mammals, Ruins, Lanzallamas, Needle Play, UneXpect.

If you dig any of that, you might also like Mamaleek, although they are different, and also change the sound considerably between the albums: trip-hop metal on earlier albums, bluesy metal on later ones.

This video showcases the kind of math that Angine de Poitrine have to constantly do: ‘Angine de Poitrine's Math Rhythms Explained’.

folekaule@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 152d

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.
