Recommend me a band! (Not quite what you think)

[Ironboot]

There are a few unknown Swedish progressive metal bands...

Spoiler: Stuff

The last one has growls, so anyone who dislikes that should stay clear.

 

[The Spectator]

Since you didn't mention any specific genres.. There are quite few good metalartists here in Denmark. One being quite semilar to Meshuggah is Scamp. Their album 'Mirror Faced Mentality' is great.

I'm going to recommend The Avalanches, probably my favourite Australian group, although from what I know they've actually been more successful overseas than here. And they do some really great video clips (Since I Left You in particular has one of my all-time favourite videos):

How has this thread gone so far without a mention of caramel dansen?

 

[Broady Brio]

Faith In Hours - Cornerstone.

They're English and just instrumentals and have won awards.[footnote]Shitty ones from my town, but nevertheless awards.[/footnote]

Because it's terrible and not unknown?

 

[ethaninja]

ACDC. Nah I'm just kidding. Hmm, I'm pretty sure I heard that Sick Puppies were actually pretty big in the states. If not, then maybe The Butterfly Effect.

 

[Mr. Mike]

I'm really feeling a lot of Aussie love up in here. The Presets, John Butler Trio, it's all good.

 

[ottenni]

John Butler Trio. Go! Get all their music, do it now!

And maybe Sick Puppies as well, they are ok.

Oh and Frenzahl Rhomb.

The latter yes, but the former HELL NO! ;D

My Recommendation: don't try any Dutch music ... i'm from The Netherlands, but even i think that it's horrible! ;P

Depends on what you're looking for. Yeah, most of the biggest Dutch artists like Frans Bauer or Gerard Joling suck ass, but there's a lot of good stuff too.

Exactly. Although "typically Dutch" music tends to suck donkey balls, there's quite a few good Dutch bands.

HOW HAD I FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS?

See, this isn't just your average dime-a-dozen music thread. What I want you to recommend me here is some kind of music from your home country that's relatively unknown internationally. Swedes, there's no need to recommend Abba, but Peter LeMarc, who in my mind is the most wonderful Swedish pop singer (and I'm being very loose in my definition of the word "pop singer" here) ever is a good recommendation since non-Swedish people won't have heard of him. If you're a finn and you're thinking about mentioning Kaija Koo, you've understood what I mean.

Well i don't know many scottish bands but here's a few good ones

[MurderousToaster]

I'm sure everyone's heard of the Proclaimers, but, hey, I'll post it anyway

 

[Zorg Machine]

Abba

Awww... fuck.

I don't know if I like any other Swedish artists to be honest. They are all douches.

Yes, even those shitty metal bands from Sweden. Screw them.

I can't think of anyone.

Except maybe... Dolph Lundgren

Thank you. finally someone understands that Swedish bands are full of douchebags.
Lundgren is possibly the exception to the rule of Per Gessle, the most insufferable man alive.

 

[sg100]

Um... Thin Lizzy?

I don't know a great deal of Irish bands (and I just got up, I have a hangover. Give me a break (and Lemsip)).

How about

Swedish bands may be douchebags, but they still produce great music!

Also, Dr. Who is awesome.

 

[ezeroast]

THE SAINTS!!!!!

Australian early punk group from 1974

 

[Malkavian]

Well, a few from Denmark...

Spoiler: Blunt

Blunt is a heavy reggae band, that doesn't get near the credit they deserve. They are great live, and currently one of my favourite bands.
To hear more, find their myspace account, as there's not that much of their music posted on youtube.

Spoiler: Mew

Another of my fav bands. Sort of shoegazer. They are definitely one of the most talented bands we have, but I'm not sure whether they are that known internationally.
This last one gives me the shivers when it gets to the end.

Bróðir Svartúlfs is an Icelandic band that mixes well.Let's say that they kinds mix Muse/Rapping and Heavy(And a bit Doom) Metal.While those mixes might sounds like a cluster fuck,but it's quite good actually.I saw them yesterday on this yearly festival.It's was fucking awesome.And the mosh pit was hardcore.

I would have more examples.But youtube doesn't have anymore of their songs.<url=http://www.myspace.com/brodirsvartulfs>So I decided to link their Myspace.
