Band from Kyoto, Japan. Their compositions are quite amazing, innovative, complex and so interesting. It's a pity they have only EP, I'm waiting for some new stuff. You should definitely check it out.
Cicada is a young instrumental band from Taiwan. Their music is a piece of composition contain acoustic guitar, cello, 2 violins and piano (1 guy and 4 girls). This fusion of classical instruments and their origin makes them sound intriguing, absorbing, magnetic and a little bit oriental. Their only release is this handmade EP (DIY?;) ). This is probably only one band from Taiwan I know, but for sure one of my favorite, even if the new one will appear. You can check them here and here (videos probably from some rehersals).

This Routine Is Hell, great hardcore punk from Utrecht, the Netherlands. Inspired by the likes of Minor Threat and Paint it Black: Fast, Energetic and Sincere. Frustrated by the drag and the fakeness of the world around them they speak, well actually scream, from the heart and mean every goddamned word that they say.
A Poor Man's Memory are three friends, who try to explain themselves in music. Band was born in december 2007 in Dresden, Germany and till now record one EP ('there's your voice in my heart' - if anybody can find it, just let me know!) and LP in 2009.I suppose that the name of band could be from the name of a song of Explosions in The Sky, but I don't really know it and there's no informationa about that anywhere. Nevertheless, APMM serves us nice piece of instrumental post-rock music - worth to check!
