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.

Sleaze Bands Part 2, Frankenstein Drag Queens From Plannet 13

i really adore these guys! right now i have very limited time, so sadly i cannot give you anything about them, however just so you can meet them for yourselves, ill post a song! in quick summary, they are a sleaze band, they also fit into categories such as horror punk and metal. the song below is called the devil made me do it.

sleaze bands part 1, crashdiet

I'm very sorry for leaving such time between posts, but in mention of that i decided i would post a most worthy band of mention, and some of their music.
crashdiet are a Swedish sleaze rock that formed in 2000. their first full length album was released around 2005, (rest in sleaze) and is the only record featuring their original vocalist, who later committed suicide. After the trauma, and loss of their lead singer, they broke up temporarily, although at the time it was intended to be a permanent decision. Once they got back together, they wrote a new album with their new singer called "the unattractive revolution". their most recent album has yet another lead singer, and now none of the original members remain, id say which members i prefer, but I'm sure you'd like to decide that for yourself!

The video above is from their second album some time after their breakup, and is on their album called the unattractive revolution, the video below is from the album generation wild, and is called generation wild, with their most recent member line-up.

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:

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.
