In Case of Fire
The search function said none of these bands have been mentioned yet, so I hope that's right.
The closest band I've found to Kings of Leon so far is Needtobreathe, but that's partially because Caleb from KOL and Bear from NTB sound kind of similar.

Anyone know an alternative to Panic! at the Disco?

I'm not sure why you didn't find the alternatives listed for this group; they have been discussed in this thread. Some may agree or disagree with the suggestions (everyone's taste is subjective, obviously) but alternatives given include Classic Crime, Relient K, Family Force 5, Capital Lights, and some Emery.
Thanks.

I'll answer this one myself. For all searching for DGD alternatives check out In Fear and Faith and The Word Alive. Telle Smith is one of the best singers ever!

bring me the horizon. yeah, i used search and found a few results. but what i'm looking for is a band with a screamer like oli sykes.
sharp-e: x-sinner is identical to ac/dc, one of the greatest classic rock bands ever. if that's not what you're looking for, my bad.

You might want to try With Blood Comes Cleansing. It's a little bit heavier and more frantic than BMTH, but the vocals are somewhat similar.

I gave one of their songs a quick listen ("About a Girl"), and I got a definite Run Kid Run/Everyday Sunday vibe from them.

Jack's Mannequin/Something Corporate
Now I'm not really looking for an alternative per se (what can I say, Andrew McMahon is one of my all-time faves) but more of just his style of alternative piano-rock. I already know about The Rocket Summer (and love him as well). I find there's a shortage of really good piano music that doesn't drag/put me to sleep.

I've been trying to find some music like this... Jack's Mannequin and Death Cab for Cutie style. I haven't had much luck. I mean there is piano rock but not this style of piano rock. But check out Varnadore and Danyew for general piano music. And if anyone else knows of any Jack's Mannequin meets Death Cab for Cutie music then please share!

YES. I can't find any bands like Death Cab either (and I love them). The closest thing I've found to their style is Jars of Clay's The Long Fall Back to Earth but that's more Postal Service than anything.
And please don't say The Fray. Anything but The Fray.

First of all, high fives for the amazing taste in music. Andrew McMahon is my favorite song writer ever and it puts a huge smile on my face to see other people who appreciate his genius. With that said, I'll second the Waking Ashland recommendation. Vocally and lyrically they don't really compare to Andrew's style, but Jonathan's piano work is solid on all of their albums. I do believe I asked for an alternative for JM in this thread (forever ago) and someone on here jumped in with Waking Ashland. I'm so glad they did because I have been a big fan ever since. We Shot The Moon is good too, and you might want to check out Jonathan's solo stuff.

You have amazing taste yourself! I listened to Waking Ashland and I really like their sound, so that's good. Basically I'm a sucker for any classical-style piano playing (meaning not just chords but complex melodies, riffs, etc.) in rock music so I'm always open to suggestions.

Well, I'm glad you like them! And yeah, I'm definitely with you on that one. Anything with good piano instantly has my attention. (This quote is getting super long. Haha.)

School Boy Humor is probably your best bet, to me they sound almost exactly like Mayday Parade which is sort of the style you are going for.
Also try Run Kid Run, The Fold, Hawk Nelson, Stellar Kart.Those are probably more punk/pop than pop/rock but its worth a listen.
