I've recently discovered a crapload of absolutely fantastic artists. Here are a few of them:

Tagada Jones are from France and play punk with some metal/nu-metal influences. While I generally absolutely loathe everything even remotely related to nu-metal (hey, it's just over-produced metal with rap overtones for white thrash gangster kids), Tagada Jones isn't luckily that much nu-metal. Just the part about low-tuned guitars (or alternatively 7-string guitars, I wouldn't know) and the rap/hiphop influences.

Lab° are a dub group from France. Apparently the "dub" part is for "dubious", as they seem to like to play tricks on the listener. While listening to one of their fine albums, a track suddenly launched into a full-fledged spacerock in vein of Hawkwind and the like just out of the blue. Imagine the surprise were I just chilling out to dub! Also, another of their tracks begins as a slow and chilly dub, but transforms into grindcore near the end. Wicked!
