What Modern Bands Were Influenced By Elvis Presley?

I know that almost all modern rock bands have been influenced by Elvis, but does anyone know any bands that have been directly influenced by him? This is for a school project.

Suggested Listening:

Elvis - That's the Way It Is (Two-Disc Special Edition)Documents Elvis' performances in Las Vegas over the summer of 1970 including rehearsals and backstage footage.
