bands that want to be joy division or bauhaus

i saw the film, "control," the other night and so i decided to revisit some joy division videos on youtube which brought me to some bands that are inspired by joy division but i hadn't actually heard before(except the killers):

the killers - their cover closes out the ending credits and i was like "wtf?"
why does this annoying band have anything to do with a biopic about ian curtis?  
i actually read some stupid article in spin magazine a few years ago where the lead singer was going on and on about how their goal was to be the biggest band on the planet......good luck, dork,
this dude sings in such a pretentious way it's beyond obnoxious,
but apparently their name comes from a fake band in a new order video so they're qualified to be on the "control" soundtrack

interpol - i listened to about 15 seconds of their most viewed video on youtube and turned that crap off, specifically because the singer sucks

she wants revenge - this music actually sounded dark and i kind of liked it, not enough to actually listen to much of it, but i remember my friend telling me awhile ago that this band is just a blatant ripoff of interpol(who i guess was first and is more successful), but it's not annoying like interpol and they don't sound cheery or nerdy like them
