Local music in your city/country

Music in my country sucks... the only Hungarian band I like is Leander Rising, here's what they're like: Hungarian/English version ...

BTW, a lot of my brother's friends are in bands, but I don't know much about them :P

I am ashamed to say that many members of the So Solid Crew went to my high school :(

The bands that come to my mind when thinking of the town i live in which is Bollnäs, in Sweden
Gormathon
M.I.D (Sings in swedish)
Overload, Pretty much the same guys from Gormathon but with a new name
Morgana Lefay
Den onde, Den gode, Den tredje(The bad, The good, The third) (sings in swedish)
they also made this one which is played at every homegame in
Bandy
Video from the start of the game and Clean song without anything else.

Edit:
I'm sorry! i can't believe i almost forgot Gösta "Snoddas" Nordgren the most famous of the bunch (Musician and Bandy player, at least he is here in Bollnäs)

These guys are from around here ;) - they are actually quite popular globally right now

And i used to play WoW with this guy and we still talk often, i like his stuff but he ain't from Denmark :P

The German language rock scene is pretty great with bands like Frei.Wild or Rammstein. But my favorites are in german neofolk!

For example:

• Von Thronstahl - Mitternachtsberg
• Hekate - Oh du Welt der dunklen Gärten
• Orplid - Das Mädchen aus der Fremde Lyrics by Friedrich von Schiller! :D
• Seelenthron - Heimkehr
• Jännerwein - Blühen und Vergehen

And this one!

• Sturmpercht - Wir Rufen deine Wölfe

I also listend to a lot Pagan Folk recently:

• Faun - Egil Saga
• Faun - Das Tor

Let's not forget some Seed!

• Seeed - Dancehall Caballeros

And some Rap!

• JAW - Menschenhass

Since first replyer already stomped Hungarian music, I'll just leave this here quietly (well not so quiet as it is actually pretty loud).

They are called Subscribe.

I'm from Poland, I don't like Polish music too much. Only few songs.

Only one that comes to mind is The Dear Hunter The Dear Hunter, I'm sure there's more but I just can't remember.
Mostly every other band I listen from Massachussets is just out of Boston.

I'm from Finland and very interested in making music myself but just can't get started. I don't actually know anyone in a band. One of my friends makes music but that's not worth posting here. There is another band from Turku though and he knows their members. Pretty cool music, been to their gigs a few times: Panemme uudestaan. And that song in english is called "We f*ck again".

When it comes to Finnish music in general I'm a bit picky I guess. Apulanta, CMX, Von Hertzen Brothers, Sentenced and Cryhavoc are pretty good. I believe some electronic music artists are fine too like 501.

Pampeluna and Riverside. Both from Poland.

I live in a big city(Istanbul) and yes im going to lot of concerts,festivals.

Some alternative rock etc from my country/city

• Can Bonomo - Meczup( Lunatic )

Yes some of my friends are in a band, but they really just do covers of other peoples stuff, think they may have written one or two songs but not much.

As for my favourite band from my country? Iron Maiden.

I'm from lithuania and we don't have good bands here, people here listen to crappy pop music mostly and don;t love live performances, but good band are:

I live in South Africa, Cape Town. It's probably one of the most diverse areas in the world in terms of culture: at the moment there's a big EDM and PsyTrance scene, but House is always popular. Most of you will know the "Zef" culture popularised by Die Antwoord as well. I have an old schoolmate who is currently touring with an Afrikaans rocker; the Afrikaans guys have a whole subset of music as well.

Here's a few examples of some local music:

• F.Eu feat. Nyanda - Cool and Deadly - Absolutely banging collab by two of our local DJs with Nyanda...definitely my track for summer!
• Freshlyground - Take me to the Dance - This is kinda the sound of Cape Town; laid back, chilled and a fusion of sounds.
• Jack Parow - Cooler as Ekke - Jack Parow is part of the zef movement as well; Parow is an area near where I live
• The Narrow - Lonely Lonely - Local rock band, pretty awesome concerts :)
• Kurt Darren - Kaptein - More representative of the Afrikaans culture, although this song is pretty popular at English clubs
• DJ Mujava - Township Funk - As the name suggests, this is more of the township sound; the style of dance is called pantsula

Some of the more famous bands from South Africa: Seether, Dave Matthews band, Die Antwoord, Kongos

So I'm from Slovakia and we have couple of talented people here :)
Some bands:

Purist - Indie/electronic

Walter Schnitzelson - Indie rock/rock'n'roll

Puding pani Elvisovej - Indie pop/electronic - you obviously wouldn't understand the lyrics but music itself is awesome, isn't it? : )

Peter Lipa - Jazz/blues - one of the top-notch european jazz artists

B-Complex - Drum'n'bass - if you are into drum'n'bass music, you should know this name

Smote - Drum'n'bass - not rly well known drum'n'bass artist, but he's the best I think

Polemic - Raggae/ska - I decided to introduce them to you with some cover, but to be honest I think their own tracks are much much better, so if you're into some raggae/ska, definitely check it out!

What about some ethnic/ethno/folk/traditional music from your countries? I think that every city in the world have great rock/pop/hiphop/ artists, but folk music is really unique for every region and I would like to hear some of that kind.

thisand the next 3 songs on the playlist are romanian rock band the songs are pretty nice

hereis a better list

My Favorite Band isn't even from my own country.

Uh, I guess Foreigner, then. They're from the US, right..?
