Already into Kiss Kiss & Wild Orchid Children, Wolf Parade are pretty cool but never really properly got into them so i'll check them out again. I had a Little Brazil & a Look Mexico album but wasn't really into either, will check out Maritime & House and Parish. Thanks.

And this isn't a plug as we are throwing these songs out and starting from scratch. A lot of people have enjoyed the instrumentals so I'm just letting ya know.

Sunset Rubdown, the singer/guitarist from Wolf Parade with the cool voice. I think Apologizes to Queen Mary is better than anything by Sunset Rubdown, but the rest of their discography is better than Wolf Parade's.

Foals- awesome mathy pop rock
The Velvet Teen- very unique, I recommend Cum Laude! but their best song is "Caspian Can Wait" on Out of the Fierce Parade.
So Many Dynamos, specifically their new album The Loud Wars
Man Man
Grizzly Bear
Bearvsshark, I recommend these last three bands to everyone just in case they haven't heard of any of them.

By the way awesome starting list of bands.

If you like Rx Bandits older ska influenced stuff or I guess you like some ska influenced stuff if you like Bomb the Music Industry! I recommend

Arrogant Sons of Bitches (Jeff Rosenstock's old band)
http://www.myspace.com/arrogantsonsofbitches

Daly's Gone Wrong (Ska- influenced with screaming breakdowns)
http://www.myspace.com/dalysgonewrong

High School Football Heroes (Check out their Close Only Counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades CD)
http://www.purevolume.com/highschoolfootballheroes

I don't really know many of the other bands you listed so you might not like these bands much.
