Can you name one or more bands or musicians from your country that you think are hugely underrated?

[msmissydc]

Let me hear bands or musicians that are either popular only in you country or just not in any charts at all, that you think are great anyway. While I probably can't speak that many languages it can obviously include voice in your national language. Bonus points for modern version of folk music from your country.

I start with germany.

modern folk music:

Versengold

for a more rock version with medieval themes:

Saltatio Mortis

add on: a band that may become more widely known in the future, at least in Europe, because they are a candidate for this years eurovision song contest. its a chance but we never send good bands anyway.

Lord of the lost

Of course what you think is underrated is strongly influence by your own taste, same with the bands I named.

I am sorry I can only choose that many MHO. Especially with opinions like that all answers where great.

[Chazmatazz269]

Yes, several, but i can only think of one right now…. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
You’ve almost certainly heard their music and it most likely got stuck in your head. Still they somehow aren’t the most coveted musical group on the planet. Get some. I’m certain you’ll luv it!

[msmissydc]

You are right I wasn't familiar with their name but I certainly knew "Where The Wild Roses Grow". Maybe even more from them but I am sure about this song.

I didn't know you were German

I really like the style of clutch.
Guttermouth seems like one of those typical mid 90s punk rock /skatepunk bands. This is definitely not bad. Now that I read that they have made music in the tony hawk games and began their career under the label from offspring this all makes sense. I like that style too but I should hear more of it.
Trevor and the Joneses are interesting. My first idea was arctic monkey when the song started somehow. Not sure why I made that connection. Not bad either I like all of these music styles. Definitely will enrich my playlist.

[KostasKouvalis]

Glad to hear that, after listening to yours I didn't think you'd like mine. And excellent observations. You're okay😂

[msmissydc]

I am all open for most kind of rock genres. I do hear a lot more than what I posted above. These where just examples of more modern folk music.

Ben Craven - brilliant guitarist from Australia.

WoW he transports such a great energy with his songs.

I need to hear more of them. I just started and their style is great.
