Any thoughts?

Some subgenres of Industrial music are pretty rock influenced, yeah. Coldwave, or "machine rock" being the prime example. Bands like
Chemlab and
16 Volt.
16 Volt are a weird band like that, because some songs will be pretty heavy, good songs to play live, and some will be very minimalistic and electronic; the kind DJs could easily play in clubs.
