I don’t listen to a lot of bands outside of US and UK, but I’m happy you provided some in your post! I’m going to check them out and keep an eye on what other people suggest in the comments ☺️

Thanks for the share! One of my favourites are Thrax Punks from Greece.
I love quite a few bands, but nothing can every quite replace the dead kennedys
if post-punk counts, check out Molchat Doma from Belarus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHbn44-Bg4o
I used to work as a sound guy for an indie/punk club in the US. As such I saw a LOT of live music. Two Japanese bands that were really interesting to see live in all that time are Eastern Youth, and Thug Murder.
The Chats.
Garage punk band from Australia. Classic power trio, all their songs are about two minutes long and cover working-class Australian topics like being too broke for the bus, being too broke for some pub grub, the price of smokes being too high, needing a functioning car, and of course don't bother me because I'm on smoko
Just saw them at Riot Fest and they were one of my highlights of the festival.
Those ones are better if you understand French: vulgaires machins (from Québec), poésie zéro, vulves assassines
Otherwise: jetsex (still from France but lyrics are in English), ass of spades (Switzerland), Royal republic (Sweden), refused (Sweden too), beach moonsters (France)
PS: die Ärtze is probably my favorite band from Germany. The guitarist (Farin Urlaub) is also a solo artist and tours with his band: Farin Urlaub Racing Team.
Definitely more rock than punk for all of these, but all Australian:
Hands Like Houses (at least when Trenton Woodley was in the band, so by extension Ladders On Tables)
Parkway Drive
Trophy Eyes
Yours Truly
some lesser known ones i like
- Pisse from Germany
- La Commune from France
- La Jungle from Belgium
