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)
+1 for Mata-Ratos, probably my favourite punk band from Portugal.
I’ll also add:
Aqui D’El Rock
Peste & Sida
And even though they’re not punk, you might also like Mão Morta.
Give a listening to Ornatos Violeta, then. Definitely not punk but they have this very unique sound profile to their music.
And for what it may be worth, look up Comme Restus. Project group, a single album ever produced. Lyrics are… Questionable.
I’ve heard both, actually. Ornatos Violeta didn’t leave much of an impression, though. Maybe I’ll give them another listen sometime.
Comme Restus, on the other hand, are stupidly catchy. I know of them since I was a teen. Speaking of questionable lyrics, I gotta mention Kalashnikov. Lyrical content aside, there are some great riffs in there.
