' Sleaze rock (or Sleaze glam) is a style of rock music emerged in the mid 1980s, and took off fully in 1987. Bands in the style primarily take influences from punk, blues, hard rock, and glam metal. The style is sometimes called street rock or sleaze metal', and continues on today, especially in Scandinavia, though it still has some popularity in other parts of Europe and the United States. Sleaze rock bands are noted for having a raw, less produced sound than many of the bands who are part of the glam metal scene. In some respects it is similar to the aesthetics of the pub rock movement, with emphasis on high energy live shows. The lyrics are often raunchier and more tongue in cheek than many other of their glam metal contemporaries. These bands were seen as the reaction to the supposedly overproduced bands whose image had become soft and poppy. Sleaze Rock makes use of the thick Guitar Chords heard in punk music, lyrics are commonly about sex, parties, and having a good time. Shred Guitar solos are almost always present. Vocals in Sleaze are usually a sort of yelling rather than standard singing, drawing influence from punk. Some bands have included blues instrumentation
