Anyway - Die fucking Antwoord.
South African art rap.
They are fucking gold.
Ninjas are hardcore.
American here. Was introduced to Touhou (from my understanding, it's a group pf Japanese bands) some time ago, and I haven't stopped rocking since.
That video made me have a seizure....of happiness.Rakkana said:
On another note - I cannot for the life of me drag my eyes away from the lead singer's slightly-too-tight shorts.
"Mavis Fan & 100% - Wo yao qu na li" << try this song
Mavis fan is a taiwanese musician who's style changed DRAMATICALLY after joining with 100%. This song is from her best album "Mavis Fan & 100% - Innocent"
I can't find a video or preview to post, but just googling that artist and album name should produce some results.
She is the greatest random discovery I've ever made.
Tokyo Jihen is by far my favorite band currently making music. Tokyo Jihen is a band put together by the great Shiina Ringo (her solo stuff is great but less rocking). Tokyo Jihen, is pretty much a traditional rock band with a quite a bit jazz influence with just great guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, and vocals. Here's a quote from a Tokyo Jihen album review:
Tokyo Jihen - Killer Tune. If you don't like this, then there's something wrong with you lol.
Here's one of Shiina Ringo's solo songs:
Muse is the only other modern rock band I really like. They are foreign to me as they're British. Muse is commonly described as having a sound similar to Radiohead but I don't really see it as I don't very much like Radiohead but I love Muse. Stupid Twilight has really made Muse a lot more popular but that doesn't make them any less good. And, Twilight was probably one of the main reasons why they were able to tour in the US, which allowed me to see them in concert. So, Twilight has done one good thing lol.
Muse - The Small Print

All the music I listen to is foreign, as I'm Australian, and I don't really like any of the stuff we do over here, save for Peter Furler and about half the Newsboys. Oh and Paul Colman.
But in any case, if you're specifically talking about non-American stuff, I used to listen to a lot of Scandinavian stuff, as they do the best power metal. Hammerfall, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, and who can forget Lordi? They rock extremely hard.
Now I've moved on to British stuff, Tinie Tempah, Labrinth, Mr Hudson, stuff like that.

You sir, have magnificent taste in music! Never heard of her/the band before, but they are amazing. Thank you for sharing.Phoenixmgs said:
Foreign? (According to who?) Or non-English?
Most of my music is in English, but I still listen to some music in Swedish, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (not sure if it's Mandarin or Cantonese, even if it's just one artist). Neither I nor any of these artist are from the US (Which is what I'm assuming you're referring to), but many of the English songs have artists from outside the US as well, including Canada, UK, and Sweden.
Sorry for being picky, but I'm sure I'm not the only non-US (Or wherever you're from. Apologies for making assumptions) person on this site, who still thinks it's annoying when some people assume we all have the same background.
If I had to pick an awesome non-English song, it's this one:

(Can't figure out how to embed youtube videos, and 30 min of googling didn't help either. That HTML code eithr works, but refuses to show in the preview of my post. Or it doesn't, in which cas you can just use this link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhv_UB-8Lw4)

I'm an Australian, and I'm a Metalhead. Damn near every band I listen to is foreign...
I'll just post this, because Korpiklaani happens to be what I'm listening to, and it's so awesome and happy.

Asian Kung Fu Generation. They have such an awesome raw sound.
Shoe. They released only one album and broke up. Sadface.
I should also clarify that as i live in Estonia, 99.9% of the world's bands are foreign bands to me. So yeah, i was only going by what hasn't probably been mentioned yet.

I'm an American, for reference/record.
