Hot Hot Heat

Hot Hot Heat is a band from Vancouver, British Columbia that plays a bratty brand of New Wave-influenced indie rock. They've been getting buckets of critical attention and praise and, in theory, I should have gotten around to listening to them before. Read more about them on the Sub Pop web site. Basically, think of The Strokes with less privilege, more snotty attitude.
