Saigon Kick, Warrior Soul, Extreme, Ugly Kid Joe, Tesla, Junkyard, Danzig, both Scream (DC Hardcore/grungey and Dave Grohl Ex Band) and The Scream (John Corabi pre Motley Crue band), Badlands, The Cult, Helmet, Jesters Of Destiny, Jesus Lizard, Prong, Life of Agony, etc

Basically a border between decaying 80s Glam to 90s rise of Grunge/Alternative, mixmatch of Sleaze rock, Psychedelic Rock, Funk Rock, Early grunge, Hardcore, Punk, Noise Rock, Post Punk, Industrial rock like too metal for alternative crowds but too alternative for metalheads.
