I think the really big one from the UK that has wild duality with the US is Biffy Clyro. Biffy have headlined every massive UK festival, but Glastonbury and all the biggest arena's (plus took Architects on tour as support last year), but aren't much bigger than Broco in the US.
As a British citizen living in Germany with my German partner it is interesting to see an American perspective on "International bands" from a US perspective. I started going to concerts in 1981 in my first year of college and then you got to know about concerts from the music press, flyers and word-of-mouth but I managed to see Nirvana's first European show, Fugazi's first British show etc. I went to see the Subhumans in my own home town because I met someone in the supermarket near the venue and they told me they were playing. It was a weird place before the Internet! In your opinion can a band be an "International" band without making it in the USA?
Very good points! The way we listen to, discover and see music is drastically changing, and I’m curious to see how it changes in the future, and my understanding is an international band is able to tour outside of their country regardless of whether the USA is involved or not! There are likely German bands crushing it all over Europe that I’ve never heard of here in the USA, but the ability to discover them is getting easier.
Sometimes they need only a chance. Internet make all a bit easyer to become known. But also when festivals give them room. In Wacken open Air in Germany it gives every year a International sage with Bands from all over the World.
Electric Callboy absolutely slayed their US tour. I was lucky to see them in NYC last week and I expect when they tour next year in the States, it will be a larger tour with closer to 6-8k capacity venues. The boys deserve it!
I am from Europe so I could be wrong, but I feel US radio and music-tv culture is not very openminded when it comes to different genres and different music in general. They tend to stay with the safe well known genres, in order to have a recognizable sound that is popular with their advertisers. They are afraid that with to aggressive or progressive music they will chase away those advertisers. Also, the big labels have a similar attitude and play a major roll in what music gets played on air. They also have mostly local bands under contract and try to prevent foreign music from taking hold as they fear that will negatively impact their sales. Hence the cooky cutter music that gets the most air time and gets most popular.
Is there any interest in this kind in music in the States? The idea we have in Europe is that you only listen to pop, R&B and rap and rock is basically dead overthere.
There is interest in it, it’s just a little more niche compared to pop, rap and country, but in the 2020s we are seeing a rise of hard rock and metalcore due to a lack of mainstream rock bands. I made a video on it a little while back, check it out! ruclips.net/video/sIW9dcBuRYE/видео.htmlsi=28ZDRSeKKBJgR_xj
Babymetal is doing really well, they are on the middle of their us hour right now, the smallest place they played at was in mineapolis just 2 days ago, for a crowd of 1500. I think that the us is beeing more and more open minded towards foreing bands, but metal and rock are not dominat in the us market at all, so its really hard to be sucessfull there. Pop artists reach sucess 100 times faster than any metal bands theses days. 😑
Babymetal just played a 3500 capacity arena in my city, they’re doing great and are another group that has succeeded unexpectedly in the states, and yeah open mindedness is tough around here in a general sense, but you get a lot of very passionate fans, but rock and metal still goes primarily under the radar, but a breakthrough is going to happen here again.
Knowing countries isn't weird. It's weird that some countries are so self centered that they think it's weird. Or just stupid. If you start you normal school day praising your flag and swear an oath for it or to it. Sounds like what they are doing in North Korea right? Only reason why i'm typing only language you know is because it's only language you know. By the way english is from....surprise England. you can check how it sounded as late as 1500s.
Some of the best shows I've seen come from other countries. Avatar, Amon Amarth and Ghost are from Sweden. The Amity Affliction and Parkway Drive are from Australia. they all put on shows that blew my mind.

This channel is very underrated. Keep up the great work and hang in there
Thank you so much! This is a brand new channel so I really appreciate that!

That’s another great example! Biffy doesn’t really have much hype in the US to my knowledge but I see their names everywhere on UK fest lineups

Their US tour was amazing!! Saw them in Pittsburgh and they killed it! Super hyped to see them again next year!
There are also a lot of american bands who absolutely unknown in Europe or the rest of the world but famous in the US

This is exactly it! Great observation

Completely agree! All amazing bands to see live!
I love Don Broco. TX
Same!

The treament of måneskin forcing them into english only from rock into pop to please the american market which has a negative effect on the band as real fans start to despise them and call them dollar whores ( artists do everything for us dollars even changing there music and beeing unauthentic )
Usa blocks out systematic non english artists
Visa fee for forgeiner artists was highered by 200% last year after europe asia, latin america and south america complained about usa companys using domestic copyrights to beenfit from those regions americaise there stuff and stell it as there own while they block stuff from those regions out. ( movies tv series and ( books as movies or tv shows ) and musicians
An other excample are is the english is the only languages thats worth it ( youtube comment under forgeiner artists music often say shit like oh when you would do it in english you would be famouse meanwhile those artists tour world wide just not in the english speaking world
An other thing Co Usa owned labels demanding english only songs and focus on usa market ( ends very bad for the bands most of the times)
Channeling of visas after sold out tours with no reason 1 day befor the artist's want to fly to the usa ( happing to several bands in the past)
The fact the media and music industries in usa call artists from europe = eurotrash
Asia = asiatrash
Latin america = latintrash
All of this lead to kind of gatekeeping behavour by fans in europe asia and latin america because dont want our groups to chance, to be americanised and english only and miss treatment so now there is the feeling of you should go eerywhere in the world just not the english speaking market.
