Post a band you like from your country.

[TheCameraman]

I'ts amazing how much the music in different countries can differ from each other, even if it's within the same genre.
I'm from Norway, I like to check out new music, and I would love to see (or hear) some bands from other parts of the world.
Also, if they sing in their native language, that's just great.

I'll start it off with one of my favorite norwegian bands:

Kaizers Orchestra, a band which many people consider to be one of the best live bands in Norway.

Spoiler: Knekker Deg Til Sist

Spoiler: 170 (Live)

Apologies if this topic has been done before, but I couldn't find anything like it when I searched.

Edit: Fixed the tags.

Hmm, I think I'll post some Alestorm, since they're from Scotland, which is where I was born.

Spoiler: True Scottish Pirate Metal!

Damn you! I was going to say Alestorm!

U2, from Ireland. You might have heard of them, but I doubt it.

Actually I don't like U2, but have a listen to The Blizzards:

I am strangely fond of Muse for some reason.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

From Sweden: In Flames, In Flames, and In Flames for eternity. I love them that much.

Spoiler: The song I want played on my funeral

 

[Bernzz]

I'd have to say...hmm...

Rap: Hilltop Hoods - I don't like most rap/hip-hop but for some reason I like Hilltop Hoods. Check out Clown Prince or The Nosebleed Section by them.

Metal: LORD (Lord?),a band with whom I have conversed (on a forum). I like their latest EP, Hear No Evil because of the song by the same name. They also covered Kylie Minogue's On A Night Like This, with a male vocalist...surprisingly, I like it.

[historybuff]

Kind of wish The Decemberists were so I could claim them. But, alas, I can't. And England gets to claim Pink Floyd. And Australia gets AC/DC and Canada gets the Bare Naked Ladies.

America has The Eagles though. And Billy Joel.

 

[Skeleon]

Well, I like several.

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter.
Fettes Brot.
Tears for Beers.
Sub7even.
I used to enjoy H-Blockx but that diminished somewhat.
