Pink Grease were a six-piece rock group from Sheffield, England, active from 2002 to 2007. Drawing from influences such as David Bowie, Iggy Pop, T. Rex, and Kiss, the band's sound and style was often categorized as glam rock, while also incorporating elements of new wave and punk rock.
The band released their debut EP, All Over You, in May 2003 to minor critical praise. In June 2004, they released the full-length album This Is For Real, which received similar praise and moderate commercial success. A second album, titled Mechanical Heart, was planned for release around 2006–2007, but after the band split from their record label Mute Records, it remained unreleased except for a few promotional copies.
Pink Grease achieved several charting singles in the UK, including "Strip" (peaked at No. 36), "Peaches" (No. 44), and "Carlights" (No. 34).
