Hi all, I am interested in listening to music for more countries around the world. Does anyone have some neat tunes they could recommend that come from their homeland? I prefer rockish and punkish music I guess (stuff with guitars, drums, etc., not too familiar with specific sub-genres)

For context, I have already got a bunch of suggestions from browsing different forums, Reddit, etc. These are some artists that have already been suggested, and could be a basis for what kind of music I like I guess. All of these are Central/Eastern European or Balkan (what can I say, they make great music): BTR and Ahat (Bulgarian), Kino (Russian), Myslovitz, Lady Pank, Kult, and Republika (Polish), Bi-2 (Belarussian), Vennaskond (Estonian), Emir & The Frozen Camels (Bosnian)

    Russian/CIS rock:

    • Melnitsa

    tl. Windmill. Folk rock with a very unique and not direct (literary) lyrics

    • Louna

    1 word: protest

    • Splean

    Very lyrical, often describing slice of life situations

    • Korol i shut

    tl. King and Jester. Punk/horror folk rock.

    • DDT

    Feels like late-soviet bard rock

      Odd that ‘Splean’ is spelled like that in English, when the original word directly corresponds to ‘spleen’ as in bad mood or melancholy. Wikipedia notes that it’s ‘a pun on the spelling of the Beatles’, but it doesn’t quite work imo.
