Process and The Doo Rags their image might approach The Time, but their sound (especially their debut single) was inspired by doo-wop groups, hence their group name lol. That debut single, "Stomp And Shout" starts with them chanting "...Shoop-shoop-shoop-shoop...", and they're doing the trademark street singing at the beginning of their video:

Sort of Temptations-inspired doo-wop with a touch of punk funk. "Standing On The Top" would make a solid back-to-back mix with "Stomp And Shout". My fave rotation by them is "Searching For Love":
