Need suggestions for excellent mixtape of f vox art punk

the first band i thought of when i read 'f vox art punk' was the yeah yeah yeahs but it seems like you're consciously avoiding them - well i probably would too because 'bang' sux, but if you have spare space give 'art star' a go - james de la cruz played it between de la soul and public enemy and made me like it.
