Some good bands? The Pacific NW has pumped out a lot of good bands in my opinion. It's hard to pick one, but I'd choose the PNW if I had to. Brooklyn has produced a lot of great stuff recently, and if they haven't produced it, then they do a great job of taking credit for it (the Hold Steady for example). I like bands from all over though, so it's hard to pinpoint.
