Croatia

Poland

The Guardian: "The fall of Communism in 1989 heralded an explosion of the local music scene in Poland. The new wave of bands and artists enjoyed enormous popularity, strengthened by new national commercial radio stations and music magazines. In spite of western pop music finally becoming available in local shops, it was homegrown music that enjoyed the biggest success. About the only survivor from that period is Kasia Nosowska, lead singer of the band Hey and a highly original solo artist in her own right. The winner of more than 30 Polish music awards, she is still taking surprising turns with every new project."

Northern Ireland

Wikipedia: Snow Patrol are a Northern Irish rock band formed in 1993, consisting of Gary Lightbody (vocals, guitar), Nathan Connolly (guitar, backing vocals), Paul Wilson (bass guitar, backing vocals), Jonny Quinn (drums), and Johnny McDaid (piano, guitar, backing vocals). Initially an indie rock band, the group rose to prominence in the 2000s as part of the post-Britpop movement.

Germany

Pit Baumgartner ​- former DJ, and creator of a unique sort of lounge music - forms the core of De-Phazz. The eclectic background of the band's founder is reflective of their sound, which has evolved from the electronic music into a rich combination of diverse styles: Jazz, soul, Latin, R&B and groove​.​ Baumgartner seemingly pulls together a new set of musicians for each album, though Appleton and Frierson are more permanent members of the group. While music sampling and computerized mixing is a recognized part of De-Phazz' musical style, the band is increasingly drawn to live performance.

Ukraine

Eugene Hütz is a Ukrainian-born singer, composer, disc jockey and actor, most notable as the frontman of the Gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello
