So I am in the USA and sadly we are not producing a lot of good music as far as my tastes go. My favorite era of music is the 90's for American punk, grunge, alt rock. So my question to you is what are some great bands from around the world that you enjoy? I will be posting one or two bands from the USA that need to be recognizedaround the world, as well as a few Japanese bands.

And please don't go posting Adel.

This is from America

This one is from Japan
Well my iPad is being stupid so this it for now I'll post more later.
 
Ones that are not the easiest to find, eh? Well then:

Japan:


Australia:


Wales:


Canada:

To make it interesting,I will only list more obscure Stuff
Sorry for not every Band having a Song,but sadly its only possible to post 5

Charles Manson

Hes a great Country Musican,but his stuff will propably bore you if you dont like Country Music

Clock DVA
Its pretty much like Pre Re Union Throbbing Gristle's later style,just with even higher Jazz Influence

Coil

British Experimental Electronic/Folk/Classic Band,formed by 2 Members of Psychic Tv
Their Older Stuff more is the typical 80s Dark Industrial,while later stuff more heads towards experimental Electronics.
Its one of the few Bands where every Album sounds different.

Dead Kennedys
A Us American Punk Band,that experiments with Hard Core Punk and Surf Rock.

Einstürzende Neubauten
German experimental band that uses Metal Plates,Drills etc to make Music
The early stuff was Post Punk,while the later stuff is less heavy

Godspeed You!Black Emperor
Canadian Ambient Rock Band
Their music kinda sounds Postapocalyptic

Faust
Experimental German Kraut Rock Band.
"The Faust Tapes" and "Faust" had huge influence on most Nurse with Wound Releases

Foetus/Jg Thirlwell
Australian Experimental Musican,his Project is quite impressive considering all his music is only made from him playing Bass Guitar and Singing and Studio Equipment. Music is more towards New Wave,Noise,Electronic and Industrial.But hunting down his music is not the easiest thing,considering his felt 100 aliases.Most of his Stuff has quite Dark Subject Matter and is Black Humored(Trent Reznor is such a watered down rip off of hi....wait,i should save up that rant for later)

KMFDM
A Band consisting of 2 Germans and one British Guy that had their seat in Germany.
Their older Stuff(86 to 90) pretty much is Meat Beat Manifesto's more primitive Stuff mixed with Heavy Metal Guitar Riffs
They later became Speed Metal Industrial band and then a Electronics Band.
To be honest,I would only suggest listening to their older Music.

Lightning Bolt
Experimental 2 Man Metal Band,due to their high use of synths and Effect Pedals,their music sounds quite impressive,considering its only a Bass Guitarist and a Drummer

Melt Banana

Japanese Punk Band,they use alot of Synths for their music and can even make Record Scratch like Sounds with the Guitars,its really weird though

Meat Beat Manifesto
US American Experimental Hip Hop/Electronics Hybrid
To be honest,Mr Dangers is not really a talented rapper,but the Music/Beat itself is really good

Mothers of Invention
Satiricial Us American Experimental Rock Band,their Guitarist Singer and Writer,Frank Zappa,later went on to do his solo project.The Band is seen as one of the influences to Industrial

Nurse With Wound
British Experimental No Genre One Man Porject,most songs could be described as "Ochestrals from Hell",he also made some Ambient Stuff

Rammstein
Experimental German Techno/Metal Hybrid
Their music sadly was watered down alot after the 90s.

Skinny Puppy
Canadian Experimental Electronic/Industrial/Goth Band.
Their Music is more Dance Club Oriented than most other Industrial Band's.
They experimetned alot with Samples,Performance Art and Video footage (second and Third only is visible on Live Performance tho)

SPK
Australian Experimental Band
Their early stuff is Hard Core Punk kinda in the style of Throbbing Gristle,while later Stuff is more of experimental Noise and Electronic
They also became a Snyth Pop band later if that fits your taste more

The Locust

A US American Hardcore Punk Band originally formed in 97 as a Powerviolence Band,but later experimented by adding electronics to their Powerviolence Songs.Most of the Song Lyrics is Black Humored Criticism to Society and Religion

Throbbing Gristle
British Experimental Band,used manipulated Guitars,Self Built Effect Panels and Violins to make most Music,also were the first Band that had a (self built) Sampler as we know them nowadays.They could also be considered the oldest Post Punk Band,with their roots already in 76.Their old Style was"artifical" sounding Hard Core Punk(76 to 77) while their later stuff was more like Distorted and Manipulated Jazz .Most of their Muisc is quite dark and Black Humored,so it wouldnt be in everyone's Taste.
