I don't know what "Tangerine Speedo" is, but that aside, but all of these are alt acts. I have a weird thing about mid-90s alt rock radio (I very good memories with that soundtrack), and a bunch of playlists pulled from actual alt radio playlists, and all these acts were prominent. "Grunge" is a pure subset of alt; mainstream ska (C.P.D.'s one ill-advised high-rotation song was swing, not ska) and industrial were both offshoots of alt.



OMG they nearly played one show and then broke up. I’m not surprised you’re not cool enough to have heard of them. I heard of them before they formed. They were going to write a song but decided it was too commercial so they decided to never actually form a band to avoid selling out. You sound like a casual music listener.
