5 cult bands to (re)discover right now

Rock is full of legendary bands… but also of hidden gems and unfairly forgotten icons. At MusikMachine, we shine a light on those artists who marked their era with style and intensity. Here are 5 cult bands that every true rock fan should have in their collection!

1. The Cramps
A unique fusion of punk, rockabilly and twisted garage rock, The Cramps embody psychobilly at its finest. Their gothic-kitsch imagery still hits hard today.

2. Television
Pioneers of arty New York rock, their album Marquee Moon is a masterpiece of angular guitar work and urban poetry — essential listening for fans of refined yet raw sound.

3. The Stooges
Iggy Pop unleashed, primal riffs and raw energy — The Stooges are the very essence of proto-punk. Their logo has become a rock symbol in its own right.

4. Joy Division
Between dark rock and icy post-punk, Joy Division carved a path like no other. Their minimalist visuals have become timeless icons.

5. Sonic Youth
Experimental yet visceral, Sonic Youth defined the 80s and 90s with their dissonant guitars and DIY aesthetic. A must-have for every alternative collection.
