sleaze rock

Last updated:

Description

Sleaze rock is a gritty, attitude-driven style of hard rock that emerged from the Sunset Strip scene of the 1980s, characterized by raw guitar riffs, raspy vocals, and lyrics celebrating excess and rebellion. The sound blends the swagger of glam rock with the stripped-down energy of punk, creating music that feels deliberately rough around the edges rather than polished. It embodies a streetwise, hedonistic aesthetic that prioritizes raw emotion and dangerous glamour over technical perfection.
