Hard rock bands with a violin?

I love bands that have hard rock or punk styles and occasionally some hardcore, but it's hard to find any good ones with a violin. And preferably a lot of violin, not just a bit in one or two songs. So far I've got Yellowcard, Fireflight, and some Alesana. And I prefer bands that are within the last ten or twenty years, so no 80's.

    Papa John Creach used to play in Jefferson Starship, Darryl Way in Curved Air and Eddie Jobson in Curved Air, Roxy Music and U.K. They may not be the heaviest of bands but the violin id feature in their music. Also, Kansas had the violin in their music too.
