You could use LastFM to find music you would like.
You can either make an account and set it up, and then the site will start suggesting which artists you may like.
Or you can go to some of your favorite artists their page, and you will see similar artists there.

Ah, kudos for picking up on The XX. One of my favourite new bands by a country mile.

A few bands you might like (or not, I dunno):

Delphic

Friendly Fires

Late of the Pier

The Presets

Cut Copy

Fear of Tigers

From your list, i have 3 for you:

The Fratellis - A scottish 3some. Kinda the party flair of Franz Ferdinand

Envy On The Coast - A harder Incubus. (i also recommend Incubus lol)

and
Jimmy Eat World - They've been around since 1993 and have not had a bad album. I saw them live and they were stunning. More melodic, and emotional (you could say on the forefront of the Emo scene... but not the current black clothing whiny emo... just very emotional in sound.) GREAT music, one of my favorite bands.
