I’d classify Petty as more of a solo artist.

Yeah yeah Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are technically a band too but nobody talks about them in that sense and the guy whose name is in the title clearly steers the ship

Closest I can think of is The Exploited. But they haven’t released an album in 15 years now.
