Good bands

[Animal]

I like to know some good international bands, my tips are

De Heideroosjes (punk)

Wealthy Beggar (kinda like coldplay)

Racoon \

Suburbs |-----Rock

Green Lizard /

All dutch bands that are really good.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Let's see...

Xutos & Pontapés (I like 'em)

The Gift

Blind Zero (they recently won an european award, I think, but I don't think they're that well-known)

Silence 4 (decent enough band, although it's not my kind of music... although the lead singer, David Fonseca, has a new single out that I really like, Someone That Cannot Love)

And if I remember any more bands, I'll post.

I know the Hiederoosjes. Don't like them, to be honest.

[Evil Chase K]

The Clarks

The Buzz Poets

[Guest Bas]

De Heideroosjes are signed to Epitaph, one of the biggest Punk/ whatever labels in America (as far as I know). I guess that makes them a tad known outside the Netherlands.

God Dethroned is a good Death Metal band from the Netherlands though, worth checking out.

Kou Kou and the Moonwalkers

(Kou and his amazing voice talents)

Come to think of it they're not that known in my own country

I know them. That means we're best friends and have sex. That being me and you, not me, Belle and Sebastian.

[tristy]

well I didn't know that.

[Emperor Fuckshit]

I'll throw my hat in for The Vibrators. Very good pre-punk stuff. Check out 'Troops Of Tomorrow', 'Petrol' and 'Stiff Little Fingers'. Then fall gleefully into the kitsch pop of 'We Vibrate' and 'Pogo Dancing'. And if you like The Clash, check out 'Pogo Dancing' anyway, just to hear how much the singer guy sounds like Joe Strummer on the lyric ' / to do the pogodance'. It's fucking uncanny. Get 'Amphetamine Blue' as well, it's their 'Train in Vain'.

Speaking of 'Stiff Little Fingers' -- The Stiff Little Fingers. I'm not sure if they're unknown enough, though. They're very well known in Britian and Ireland, USA not so much. Excellent band -- a lot like The Clash and The Damned.

And finally, Gang of Four. Excellent New Wave -- the most 80s sounding band in the history of ever. Everything of theirs is just great.

some more Canadian bands.

Cheerleader

Irish Descendants (not really known outside of Newfoundland)

Rascalz

Moneen

[Corizzle]

Swollen Members haven't had an album outside of Canada since 1996 so people who have heard of them have most likely forgotten

[Johnny Drama]

fony (got a european tour and been on kerrang tv but not well known in UK or outside)

Captain EVerything (currently touring canada)

[Emperor Fuckshit]

I've never liked Captain Everything that much, though I have heard of them, and have some of their stuff.

[grind your soul]

The End [Canadian metalcore]

Courtesy Blush [touring Europe this summer - my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend is in this band, so please - you English folk, go see them on tour, and BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF THE DRUMMER! Muchos fun shall result]

Just a note to GGWAB:

alexisonfire and Billy Talent suck.

They only are where they are because they suck producer dick, not because they're particularly talented [well, not because they're the most talented groups in that style of music, anyway - I guess they have talent, AOF moreso].

The end.

[YI]

Billy Talent are certainly not unknown outside Canada and I know of a few people who have heard of alexisonfire.

To be honest I can't think of that many, there's loads but i'm not fully into the underground scene and in the UK mainstream I don't know what you American's/Canadian's/Australian's etc. have already heard of. For example, bands like Funeral for a Friend, Muse, InMe, Hell is for Heroes (Not completely mainstream), The Hives etc.

[grind your soul]

The Hives are known well here, as are Funeral for a Friend.

I've heard of all of those bands, but - I don't know how popular they are over here.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I've heard of The End, gys, I haven't heard any of their stuff though. They ran an article about their new CD "Within Dividia" (sp) in an issue of Terrorizer magazine.
