Is straya the new UK in music? They are putting out great stuff.

>>69015467

Such as?

>>69015467
As an Australian I can conscientiously say no, there is not enough press exposure
give it about 5 years and maybe this could be the case, each state has their own scene and each shows a whole lot of promise

literally name one good australian musical act of the past 20 years

I'm australian and the only band from australia that I really enjoy is nick cave and co.
Most of the shit here is just either mainstream pleb shit, 'artistic' vocal covers and the most commercial and derivative indie rock/pop imaginable.

Even your little brothers New zealand are miles ahead of you in terms of music.

>Muh ACDC

avalanches

This is the only good Australian release since Circus Animals

>>69015978
you could say that about every country
literally

the people that actually engage with music in Australia as opposed to just taking drugs and flexing their muscles at festivals don't listen to "Aussie Rap" the white trash do that
That in itself is a generalization, there are good Australian hip hop artists, not all of them are white trash

in short, just because you don't hear about 95% of the music produced in a given country (and trust me, Triple J does not account for ALL of Australian music, they are notoriously poor at their jobs) doesn't mean that you should automatically disregard all of that country's music

>no mention of nick cave yet

>>69015930

>Crowded house

I thought this was a meme? that's a new zealand band

>>69016041
>all but one member australian
>band formed and recorded their albums in australia

i'd say being formed in, recording and having members of the same country makes a band from that particular country.

>>69016054

The band is Neil finn and a backup band though.

>>69016088
all of the members of ACDC are Scottesh, yet formed in West Sydney
they are about as Australian as VB, This is a land of immigrants

You can say that about literally any main vocalist or lyricist of any band.

New Zealand gave us UMO and Connan Mockasin though

>>69016125

Not really though, but this is pretty much trent reznor to NIN.

>>69016130
literally who?

>>69016133
you really can say it about any band though.
>>69016130

>>69015541
>shoegaze

Lol who? there are some genuine suggestions in this thread. Stop listing your mates bands

>>69016882

Hi Triple J

>>69015467
I live in Sydney and the answers is no. Honestly the only good music in the modern day that am aware of is coming out of the US. Australia is plauged by watered down bands trying to attempt to do something that some artist did 1000x better 20 years ago.
