Is there good modern music from Germany? I live in Germany but I never hear about anything interesting. There doesn't seem to be a big musical culture here, all music in public is mainstream pop (just listen to any radio station, it's all the same) or rap. I sometimes listen to stuff that's recommended on plattentests.de but that rarely impresses or interests me much. I really do like most of Kettcar and Tomte discography (don't care too much about Tocotronic), but that's about it concerning bands from Germany that I like.
So, do you know good bands or albums from this century? Can be either german or english language. I just want to have a better grasp of what is going on here musically.
Gas is still actively making music Also check out Jan Jelinek and all of his other pseudonyms Bohren & der club of gore Pan Sonic Also I've heard that the minecraft soundtrack was made by a german so there's that
Seconding Kadavar. Samsara Blues Experiment comes to mind as well. Long Distance Calling perhaps? Popol Vuh is a nice throwback, too
If you don't mind metal, there's lots of great stuff: The Ocean, Empyrium, Ahab, The Ruins of Beverast, Firtan, Nocte Obducta, Bethlehem, Obscura, Falkenbach... (Trying to leave out overly mainstream stuff like Kreator, Accept, Blind Guardian or Powerwolf)
Jayden Sanchez
Frittenbude, Peter Fox
Easton Gomez
*sip* The only person I ever heard lose a favourable word about Peter Fox is my almost 70 year old uncle, boomer of boomers.
Matthew Williams
If you're curious about stoner rock you should check out Colour Haze, i literally cried while listening to some of their music for the first time.
Can anyone recommend me bands with good German lyrics? The kind that's deep that you can connect to and stuff. Can also be humurous lyrics. Preferably something more indie/rock/pop than rap/edm.
Bentley Gray
ABFAHRT
Jack Campbell
van holzen maybe? it aint too deep tho
Jonathan White
That would be Kettcar, fits your description perfectly. Choose any album really, they're all equally great imo (Ich vs. Wir is different as it is a lot more polticial)
