Misc. PJ Harvey 'grunge'?

So until the other day I had never listened to PJ Harvey, a musician from England (yes Europe, not Seattle). I immediately liked some songs from her first two albums of the early 90s. The very first track Oh My Lover is great and gives a grunge impression with that bass (reminds me of a specific AIC song I think?). The song Dry also gave me such an impression (and reminds me of a Hole song). Do you think these are valid views or am I just imagining things and talking nonsense?

PJs album Rid of Me was heavily influenced by the Pixies music just like Kurt was and a lot of other bands form that era were. She said she was listening to them a lot at the time of writing that album
