cross-posted from: https://retrofed.com/c/ask@piefed.social/p/2118592/what-are-some-of-your-favourite-rock-punk-bands-around-the-world
I’m currently listening to BTR (Bulgarian), Kino (Russian), Luke (French), the pillows (Japanese), Bjornarna (Swedish), Nova Koma (Latvian), Melt-Banana (Japanese), Republika (Polish), Ornatos Violeta (Portuguese), Starshooter (French), Chewie (Scottish), Jufkamental (Bosnian), Kult (Polish), Die Toten Hosen (German), Die Artze (German), and Ska-P (Spanish)!
In my opinion, it’s better to listen to all the best bands from everywhere rather than a mixed bag of American and British ones. Plus, they all have their own unique flavour on top of the traditional rock/punk styles, so it’s fun to listen to them!
What are some of your favourite rock/punk bands outside of the U.S. and England? I would also like to listen to some from outside Europe (I have a few Japanese ones, but that’s about it)
Those ones are better if you understand French: vulgaires machins (from Québec), poésie zéro, vulves assassines
Otherwise: jetsex (still from France but lyrics are in English), ass of spades (Switzerland), Royal republic (Sweden), refused (Sweden too), beach moonsters (France)
PS: die Ärtze is probably my favorite band from Germany. The guitarist (Farin Urlaub) is also a solo artist and tours with his band: Farin Urlaub Racing Team.
Found a band called Gazoline a few years ago when I was in Quebec city. Don’t speak French so I have no opinion on their lyrics, but i still listen to them because I enjoy the music
Music is a universal language, almost none of the ones I listed perform in English. I’m just here for good beats! Will check out some of those you listed :D
