New-new wave: Franz Ferdinand etc..

I'm looking for some bands that sounds like these guys (Franz Ferdinand), I've heard The Killers and some Bravery but that's about it. I don't really want to hear that you think this music sucks or that I should listen to some real new-wave (Gang of Four, Joy Division/New Order etc..)
I'm just really starting to like these new bands' sounds and I'm looking for some less-known (though it doesn't really matter) bands that share this type of sound. Thanks in advance

For some new wave feel, why not try:

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Strokes
Bloc Party

Perhaps "Nu Wave" would be a more appropriate title, no?

well in its original use (misuse?) The Police, Pretenders, Blondie and Pat Benatar happily coexisted with the Human League, Heaven 17, and Dexy's Midnight Runners, if that answers your question .

Haha, ok nu-wave could be a better name. But it doesn't really matter anyways, it could be called the blues for all I care I just want to hear a few more bands with a similar sound, thanks for the suggestions so far. I know of most of the orignal new-wave or whatever you want to call them type of bands and I really like most of them. It's exciting me to start to hear some bands that have been influenced by em'.
