hello, I knew you would come crawling back to me eventually (muahaha)
anyway, hello panda, welcome. imagine dragons sound like pop wanted to do some alternative rock, but sort of got confused.
I am not too sure what to recommend you to be perfectly honest, but, I know you like CtE, so, perhaps franz ferdinand or foals may be to your taste.

this might not be a good example, but, the newer 2 foals albums and pretty much any FF album may be a good place to start, you'll also be pretty familiar with a few FF songs anyway since they were plastered all over the radio in their earlier years.
