My Idea was for this thread that you put some embeds with music of groups from your own country. own country means the land you identify with. If you were born in german but your family moved to austria at the age of 4 you can also post music from austria if you like as example.
So here mine
I live in germany:
Qntal
their music is so magic. A lot of their songs are remixes of songs of the middle ages.
Tocotronic
most times their lyrics iritate me but I love their guitar sounds
Thats a nice idea.
I am from Germany too
(i live in egypt, but donât really listen arabic music)
I actually donât listen a lot of german music.
But i do like this group, Itchy.
When i got into them they was still called itchy poopzkid and participated on show from MTV called Band Trip. Good old time, ya know
As a Korean American, I canât say Iâve seen a lot of artists in the same cultural spectrum whose music Iâve enjoyed. Most K American artists are electronic/hip-hop producers and, while thereâs nothing wrong with that, it leaves an empty gap in other genres like rock or metal.
Yaeji might be the most unique electronic K American artist Iâve heard. Her music is very chill with a vapor aesthetic. Tokimonsta is a solid producer but I think her first album is where the magic is.
Mine is/will be quite boring in comparison to what most people will post but The Smiths. Despite their age I still find a lot of their lyrics and imagery relevant today.
This is probably the least sounding Smiths song but itâs one of my favourites, despite the huge list of bands hailing from the UK Iâve never really had a connection with any of them bar The Smiths and aside from general knowledge of UK rock, this is the only band my father and I bond over.
I like some of Marianas Trenchâs stuff a lot, although the singer is kind of obnoxious.
They are from BC though, which is on the other side of the country from me.
The biggest (and possibly only major) export from the specific suburb I grew up in is actually Sum 41. I remember liking some of their stuff as a teenager - actually, I found out a Japanese song I translated recently uses a sample from âPiecesâ, which was part of the reason I was so charmed by it. It was kind of a funny moment when I saw people commenting about how they were happy to hear Sum 41 being sampled in Japanese hip-hop. Iâve never listened to anything other than their radio singles though - I always liked Good Charlotte and AFI better.
I spent a lot of my childhood listening to Shania Twain, since my parents owned a bar out in a rural area and they used to play country music on the TVs all the time. Iâll always have a special place in my heart for her music because of that. Her older songs are still played on the radio all the time here due to CanCon requirements, and they still hold up. My sister and I still turn the volume up when they come on.
Lol, I still remember my sister had like a whole denim outfit as a kid and we called it her âShania Twain lookâ. Her denim look from this video definitely made a big impression on me.
They are kind of buddies of mine and I have even recorded a song with them but I wouldnât have if I didnât deem them to be good, so, Circus of Fools
Also, Helium Vola is very beautiful. I donât know much (and everybody knows that particular song) by them but I do want to get more into them once Iâm in the mood.
Some Lithuanian stuff.
BA (by the initials of bandâs leader, Benas AleksandraviÄius). First lithuanian band I have started actively listening to (and even going to their gig once). They have catchy songs, they have some ballads and stuff.
Abudu. Randomly stumbled upon this song, instantly loved it. Then I listened to the album (from which this song was), and I loved the album as well.
Baltasis Kiras. Another random revelation I got into. This song is not really a representative of the album, but holy shit I like this chill vibe.
Shishi. Suddenly, some surf-rock stuff, haha. Stubmled upon them during Devilstone festival and got curious about their stuff.
Iâm from Quebec (Canada) so I grew up with french music. Iâll share some of my favorites :
Jean Leloup (poet, singer, half-algerian, half-quebecker)
Les Cowboys Fringants (they toured in France, Belgium, etc):
Mononcâ Serge (poet, singer) :
(He actually sings a bit in german, but dunno what heâs saying lol, and Iâm not even sure itâs real german haha)
He actuallys laugh about other provinces of Canada haha. This oneâs about Saskatchewan. He even did a full album about Canada haha.
Kataklysm :
Yeah, theyâre actually from Montreal. Montreal is a HUGE city for metal folks around the world. Every metal band stops here!
Harmonium (core of our culture )
Symphonique version of it, but original :
Yes, Celine Dion comes from Quebec, but who doesnât know her haha.
And last, probably our greatest female singer ever :
Ginette Reno
The list is very long, but we have lots of talent here ^^
I donât enjoy Czech used in music that much,
but I love our goregrind bands. We have one of the biggest if not the biggest goregrind festival in Europe.
Gutalax (named after the brand of laxatives)
Spasm (it is what it is)
There are few ânormalâ metal Czech songs that I enjoyed as a kid
KabĂĄt (Coat in English)
Hentai corporation ( ͥ° ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°) (this song is pretty great actually)
Iâll throw here a pop song for a change of pace
KryĆĄtof (Christopher- Merchant with rain)
Mexico
I donât like the traditional music from here. Itâs just not my thing. But thereâs a lot of cool bands.
Here Comes The Kraken:
Awesome Deathcore/Metalcore especially their last album.
PXNDX
This one is more Pop/Punk Emo. Their last 3 records were awesome tho
Allison is similar to Pxndx but I donât like them as much. But this song is a banger
If someone wants to try (GOOD) Italian rap/hiphop, here is Caparezza. Problem for foreigner is that he is really good at writing lyrics, and they are in Italian and VERY linked to Italian culture/slang/life/puns, so translating them with an automatic translator misses more than half the wordplays, political messages etc.
âArgenti Livesâ is a song where Filippo Argenti (Danteâs RL abusive neighbour) disses Dante Alighieri. Basically itâs a song about how violence and brutality prevails in society.
Or âCome dance in Pugliaâ where âdanceâ subtextually actually means âdieâ, and under a cheerful tourist friendly âpizzicaâ music, he tells about Puglia (itâs a region in the South of Italy) workplace fatalities and pollution deaths (and other issues).
Iâm from Hungary, and Iâd be hard pressed to name good musical acts from here, at least according to my (probably oddly specific) tastes, but there are two (quite underground) bands that come to my mind that I like.
The other band I like is called Aebsence, and they are a metal band with folk music influence, mostly in singing style and lyrics, so it would be hard to translate. Just go with the vibes. Iâll link two songs from them:
Iâm from the USA. My favorite home-country band is, without question, La Dispute. Everything from their first album through their third album is absolute gold to me. Their most recent album I have a hard time with - the vocals are mixed SO LOW and to me, Jordanâs lyrics are supposed to be a central focal point of La Disputeâs music. Oh well. Their first three albums are still perfect, and carry a lot of meaning for me. Their music has kept me company through some really rough points in my life, and has been in the background of some of my most joyful times.

And hello fellow Canadian
