I'd take this along as a The Who meets The Killers. Bass drum, tamb, heavy stummed acoutsics, leaving the electrics for licks only. Then wided the vocal field with lots of double tracking and layers. This could indeed go lots of places. I would want a third section, somethign melodic where the vocal takes precedence and the guitars play simple strums, to contrast the stop start of the guitars in the sections you have. JNx
