Bands you recommend from your country

[DeftonesNZ]

What bands would you recommend to someone asking about your country's music ?

Country:New Zealand


Blindspott,probably NZ's most successful metal band their pretty good probably more standard metal than Deftones but still very good, Very good guitar playing and the DJ is complements them very well.

Decortica,a lot newer band still on the rise they've got a really good sound going, i think their heavily influenced by the Deftones, though i would say they should only have one album as the two they have released have been half awesome half average would've have been better to just have one full of good songs.

Kora,Very good live act not sure what category you'd put them under but they do the more upbeat electronic songs as well as the typical laid back NZ reggae style stuff as well, their probably the other end of the spectrum compared to the first two bands.

Good topic !

France : Gojira (but everyone knows them already).
On the more "unknown" side of things, people should try Psykup, very good band (they disbanded a while ago though). It's som kind of progressive metalcore, very weird and original, but very good.

Old "Noir Desir" is good too (aim for the first few albums though) some nice old school rock and roll.

[DeftonesNZ]

Thanks for the recommendations the first band instrumentals are good not a fan of vocals though,the second one didn't really do much for me but i like the Noir Desir there quite good. Also that terra inc song by Gojira reminds me of birthmark by the deftones i think its the drums i keep expected to hear stephen come in with that riff.

Germany:

I can honestly only recommend "Bohren & Der Club Of Gore", which probably everybody of you knows already.

Apart from this, rock-bands like e.g. "Die Toten Hosen" (punk), "Beatsteaks" (alternative/punk) and "Scorpions" (hard rock/heavy metal) are considered as good and I respect them, although I'm not a real fan of their music.

I'm not a big fan of german musicianship in general, though.

Yea everyone here thinks German music is super weird because of we get of it is Rammstein videos of naked men wrestling lol.

[N0S3BLEED976]

I hate Rammstein.

There are a lot of other admired german bands beside the three mentioned above, but I did never get into them as well. Especially if they sing in german. Our language just lacks the harmony and beauty that the english language usually has.

Must suck been known for them, think were quite lucky the most popular NZ act overseas would probably be Kimbra from that somebody I used to know song she is actually from the same city as me which is pretty cool considering city's are a lot smaller in NZ. Understand what you mean about the German language never thought of being romantic or sweet ,but apparently the Kiwi (NZer) accent was voted second sexiest English accent outside of Britain lol which surprised me.

[Crazylegs]

Motorpsycho, best rockband ever to come out of norway
Jaga Jazzist, awesome nu-jazz group

Very interesting topic!

From The Netherlands I'd like to recommend Green Lizard. Recently restarted after being absent for 4 years. Parts punk, grunge, with influences from (nu)metal and hardcore with some commercial appeal at times. One of my favorite bands, so I'm very happy that their back and look forward to seeing them live again. http://greenlizard.bandcamp.com/

New song, Teardrops, in rehearsal
