Sounds Like
U2 runs into At The Drive-In at a Pink Floyd concert and decides to start a super-group.
Synthetic ambiance behind a thick rhythm section (complete with odd time-signatures). Two guitarists noodling and intertwining melody and odd chord structures. A singer utilizing a vocal modulator and a megaphone underneath a smooth tone an wide vocal range, and obscure assign-your-own-meaning lyrics.

Forged in the fiery wasteland of Columbus, Ohio, House of Cards is here to bring the rock. Featuring a huge mess of influences, realized as a sound combining the best aspects of electronica, post-rock, and pop, House of Cards maintains a pop sheen with huge choruses and hooks.
The band originated from Justin (guitar, programming, falsetto) and John (vocals, megaphone), but quickly enveloped Steve Neme (guitar, vocals), and then Dan (drums) into its cohesive, ooze-like grip. Bob (bass) rounds out the low end for one of the thickest, wall of sound bands you'll hear.
Hey fellas, we are soooooo glad you guys are finally playing out again! Hopefully we can play together again soon and we can finally get that drunken sing-along to "Cut the Headlights" to go down. See you guys thursday!!!
Justin, Guido called me and we're thinking about suing you guys for no reason. We were thinking about calling Craig, too, but then we thought maybe he died in a mountain climbing accident or something.
