What are your favourite rock bands from your country which may not be so well known everywhere else? Let's make some kind of modern day rock database!

I'm from Australia and we have some legendary rock groups here.

I rate these bands as high Green Day, Muse, Radiohead, Coldplay, The Killers, Foo Fighters. The only difference is I have a lot more opportunity to see them because most LOVE to tour (and I'm in heaven).

All time favourites:
The Living End

Silverchair

Powderfinger

Grinspoon

Some current big names which are also amazing:
John Butler Trio

Jet

Gyroscope

Tame Impala

Bluejuice

I've either seen or am planning to see all of these bands. I've seen a few twice and will get to see them again soon. The majority are currently touring.
