A few of my faves that jive with your examples would be:
Muse (someone already mentioned)
Robbers On High Street
Franz Ferdinand
Maximo Park
Rapture
The Flaming Lips
The Raconteurs
Earl Greyhound
Cold War Kids
Wolfmother
Lucero
Weezer
Shout Out Louds (sound a LOT like The Cure)
The Kills
Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
Hot Hot Heat
The Sights
We Are Scientists
Heartless Bastards
Dead Boy & The Elephantmen
Sorry for the long list, music is one of my most serious passions. All of the artists I listed above have stuff you can download from iTunes. So hit them up there, or if you have a few hours to kill, print 'em off and bring them to the listening station of your favorite bookstore. Good times.
I also strongly encourage you to check out the following websites for streaming music (online radio.) Both are commercial-free and both kick major butt.
89.3 The Current (linked below - one of the Public Radio stations here in Minneapolis/St.Paul - yeah, I know...alt music on PUBLIC RADIO?? Trust me, try it, you'll like it.)
Pandora Radio (http://www.pandora.com) - a GREAT place to find artists similar to the ones you already like. You type in an artist or a song, and Pandora plays artists similar to your pick. Great FREE way to discover new music.
Feel free to email me for other suggestions, I like to chat about music.
