A quick look at my favorite bands shows that most of what I listen to comes from the Pacific Northwest, Canada, and Texas.

I've lived in the US all my life (Chicago and Seattle respectively), but I wouldn't say I listen to primarily US bands. My favorite band is Doves, and they're from Manchester.
But I don't think it's where they come from that matters. All it comes down to is whether I enjoy the music I'm hearing.

Ablach are from your neck of the woods, and their tracks on European Fastness - A Grindcore Compilation were totally raging. They had some of the best tracks on there, which is saying something because that was a really high quality comp all round. Uncalm are pretty great too, they list Robot Has Werewolf Hand and Crossed Out as influences so I'm well down with that even if they don't sound much like them. Not that I imagine either are your cup of tea, but Aberdeen does venture beyond metal and bad screamo.
Most of the new music I hear and like is from the UK. That's due largely to the fact that I like going to DIY gigs a lot and I don't spend that much time looking for new music online, so most of what I hear is from the UK, coupled with the fact that I like grime and almost all of the good grime is from London. Do they even do grime in the US? Plus, I like music with a sense of place to it. Not that I prefer music from the place I'm from, but like the song says: "if you ain't chatting about what's happening where you living, what you talking about?"

The UK music scene tends to pass me by. I guess that's what happens when you live in a county (Shropshire) where the nearest even slightly decent venues are twenty miles away, and even then the bands that play tend to be mediocre. I actually checked out where all the bands I actually like come from. Out of my top 50 on last.fm 34 are from the USA, 3 are from Canada, 10 are from the UK, 1 is from Sweden, 1 is from France and 1 is from Germany. The bands from the US tend to be on either coast, I don't have much from the middle (yeah, technical geographic terms). Saying that, my favourite band is from Chicago. Ho hum.
