Sleaze bands, Glamour punks

Long time no see! since i haven't written anything about hair metal lately Ive decided to clean my act up a tad. Anyway, today I'm going to share glamor punks, and 80's punk band. Sadly there is very little information about them anywhere, due to their underground status. but nether the less, they are still worthy of mention!
they have one outstanding album and a small but very loyal fan base.  and if it makes you more interested,  i recall Andy Biersack once saying if he had a choice of any band other than black veil brides he would want to play for these guys! Anyway, here's a quick look at them below:

*also, if this happens to be the wrong song/video/audio i am truly sorry, blogger is undergoing change and I'm not liking it very well.

Sleaze Bands part 3, Heart Throb Mob

I haven't added any sleaze lately, the next on a really long list is Heart throb mob. a relatively colourful band, with vibrant reds and at one stage, blues in amongst their hair. They lasted for a short five years before breaking up in 1997 and went through a total of five members. During their short time together they made two albums which go by the name of hit list and eat your heart out. Although their music career was short lived, i they have a really light hearted feel, something you can apply/dance to on any occasion! Throughout their music you'll hear good rhythm, nice guitar shredding and pleasant vocals.

The Hellfreaks

Today i feel the need to share a very underground band, the Hellfreaks. They are a Hungarian rockabilly/psychobilly/punk band featuring female vocals. They really stand aside from other bands, in fact Ive never seen anything so beautifully non-mainstream. Their lead singer Shakey Sue, completely shatters the stereotype which is structured around female vocals. The band gives a perfect demonstration of how any rock/goth/psychobilly bands should feel and sound, with a quick paced beat and such humorous, quirky and morbid expressions. So far they only have the one album, "hell sweet hell" although I'm hoping they get a move on and keep writing! Like many aesthetic bands (not all) they have all identified with descriptive names, their lead singer goes by the title of Shakey sue, their double bass player known as bloody holly, Yoda surfer on guitar (a name directly from geek heaven!!!, i don't know about you but i think geeks are so cute) and W illy cruel blasting some rhythm on drums. Anyway, for your enjoyment here is their song "boogie man"

The sleaze scene, in rock and metal

It is well know that metal is a heavier progression of rock, and one of the first progressions, which existed before many of the sub-divided musical genres and fashions we have today. But during the creation and discovery of many musical genres and bands, many people have completely missed the category known as sleaze. short for sleaze rock or sleaze metal, the main thing that separates a sleaze bands from a normal rock, punk or metal band is the way any particular band chooses to define themselves, by fashion.
some of the common characteristics include teased up hairstyles, generally "dark" fashion attire, although they can be quite colourful (see peppermint creeps), leather, military/leather/black shoes, metal (studs, chains etc), stripes! and generally tight clothing.
the other component of the sleaze aesthetic is their contrasting make-up. generally every member of the band has a reasonably pale face, with the exception of black eyes/lips etc;
Mostly, sleaze bands are underground, but you don't really have to look that far, KISS is approved as a sleaze rock bands by many sleaze fans, along with other bands such as the motley crue.
If you've never listened to sleaze, don't know where to start or your just looking for new music, here are some of my favourite sleaze bands:

peppermint creeps

Hopefully you get the idea of what sleaze bands look like! but don't forget like any fashion, these bands do bring their own components onto it, as it is a way to be unique. sometime in the near future i will try and get a post done with background information on some of these bands, and hopefully a post about the aesthetic in more detail.

The Cog is Dead, an ideal steampunk band

On recent Internet explorations, i happened to stumble upon something really beautiful. in fact so beautiful its the only thing Ive listened to since.
The cog is dead is a four piece band that's uses many instruments. whilst they don't sound industrial, theoretically, their experimentation with steam inspired "noise" could fit the description, with many clunking, smoky and tick like noises in amongst their rhythmic tunes.Amongst their four members, they do vocals, piano, guitars, bass, drums, kazoo, banjo and accordion (probably more)
the only negative of this project is that its well and truly over with one CD, and no sign of return. which is a shame really, personally i would have loved to listen to the many albums they have not written. anyway, even though they don't write anymore, I'm still enjoying what they did give us, you can listen for yourself below:

Band exposure: Girl vs Ghost

Girl vs ghost are an Australian (suprisingly good for Australian music, i must say so myself) Punk/rock band, with female vocals. They use inspiration mainly from Paramore and My chemical romance.
The one thing i probably admire mostly about this band would have to be some of their earlier expiriences as a band. In 2008 their guitarist (tristan) was diagnosed with cancer. GvsG held their heads up and Tristan did survive. during that time their line up changed quite a bit although within that time the development of their first ep eye for an eye, came to be. the ep has many songs dealing with the fight against cancer and other troubling situations. im sure you will all enjoy GvsG, they really are one of those bands that anyone can love. check out their video eye for an eye below:

all my friends are zombies (below eye for an eye)
