Any band similar to Ted Leo and the Pharmacists?
I'm in love with them and their sound and am looking for someone similar.

You could listen to influences of Ted Leo, like Billy Bragg or Split Enz, or his earlier band Chisel if you don't know them.

The only one i could think of is The New Pornographers, but that's still a bit of a stretch.

If you want something a little frenetic, try Ima Robot.
