Although I like her music, Bjork is not really a band, well, properly anyway. An aside, but Neil Young was born in Canada, of course.
sort-of active?

The Thing
not-so-active
AC/DC

So, disqualifying any groups with members from several different countries and bands who have some members from the U.S. or U.K., and for the purposes of answering the topic question, my favorite current band is the wholly Japanese OOIOO. (I'm supposing that this P-We project is going to still continue to make records).
And my favorite one that has clearly already peaked is the entirely Australian INXS. (I refuse to acknowledge the new version).
