Hi all, I am interested in listening to music for more countries around the world. Does anyone have some neat tunes they could recommend that come from their homeland? I prefer rockish and punkish music I guess (stuff with guitars, drums, etc., not too familiar with specific sub-genres)

For context, I have already got a bunch of suggestions from browsing different forums, Reddit, etc. These are some artists that have already been suggested, and could be a basis for what kind of music I like I guess. All of these are Central/Eastern European or Balkan (what can I say, they make great music): BTR and Ahat (Bulgarian), Kino (Russian), Myslovitz, Lady Pank, Kult, and Republika (Polish), Bi-2 (Belarussian), Vennaskond (Estonian), Emir & The Frozen Camels (Bosnian)

From Canada, in fact from my city, The Dreadnoughts! Their first three albums are punk gold. (Later stuff, they started having fun and doing polka etc. But whenever I see them in concert, they mostly rock from the first 3.)

If you're only going to listen to one, Polka's Not Dead would be my recommendation.

(Full credit to the Real McKenzies for paving the way, Chip would be their most famous song.)

Operation Ivy and Rancid have more members in common than some bands that keep the same name over a couple decades.

Funny you said Dead Milkmen. Can’t say I’ve ever met anyone outside of Philly who considers them more than a one hit wonder

Dane here.

Skalar is a great Ska Punk band, but they're so punk that most of their stuff has never been released as albums. They just play live. You can find a lot of concert recordings on youtube though.

Rock is a broad genre, and "best" is highly subjective. Personally, I'd highlight things like Dizzy Mizz Lizzy who had an interesting sound going back in the day.

Disneyland After Dark is always a classic. The Savage Affair if you're looking for something more ballad-y perhaps.

Stoner rock with blues notes? Baby Woodrose might tickle your fancy.

If you're looking for something more psycadelic, The Savage Rose could be an option.
