Pink Grease is a five-piece rock group from Sheffield, England. Drawing from prominent early influences like David Bowie, Iggy Pop, T.Rex, and even Kiss, the band's sound and style are often seen as glam rock while also being heavily influenced by such new wave artists like Duran Duran and punk rock artists like The Damned. Also relates well to more contemporary post-punk revival artists like Bloc Party, The Futureheads, and The Strokes and often shares much of the same fan base.

Pink Grease released their debut EP All Over You, in May 2003 to some minor critical praise. Then in June 2004 they followed up with the full-length This Is For Real with similar praise and some moderate commercial success. Their second album titled Mechanical Heart is due for release sometime in 2007. Pink Grease is currently signed with the Mute record label.
