I can only think of one I would recommend, in relation to Radiohead, try Neuroticfish, they are somewhat similar as far as type of music but have a more dancebeat feel to the music.
As far as other similar bands, you may consider listening to some Barenaked Ladies, I realize they may have come off as a little too pop-ish lately, but you might find their older albums such as "Born on a Pirate Ship" to be quite good. Also they have a new album in the works, you can go to their Myspace page and listen to 4 new tracks off of the new album. My favorite so far is 'Bank Job'.
Another one you might like is Better Than Ezra, my mother and sister swear by them, if I had to pick BTE is most like... DMB... I think.
Hope it helps.
Also, if you are willing to adventure into some more synthesized sounds that are a bit deeper than Radiohead, you could try out some of the industrial classics such as Skinny Puppy and KMFDM. Skinny Puppy has some very strange lyrics and even more interesting musical styles, and KMFDM has some hard driving near metal vocals (but not the growling thing) and an awesome sound. Those are two of my favorites. If Skinny Puppy is too off the wall a side project of some of their band members was ohGr and they are a bit softer.
