Dark humor, profanity abound, and evident lack of budget towards animation

Both have limited animation but still make good use of their budget with how the comedy is framed. Also, both stories are about someone (Negishi in Detroit Metal City, the three main girls in Back Street Girls) being put in a band they don't exactly want to be in, but at times, they find happiness in their new, chaotic life.
Two good series to watch with friends, though if I'd recommend one, it'd be Detroit Metal City, one of the funniest comedy anime.
Both have the same dark and raw humor; based on realistic situations (there are no supernatural or fantastic elements) but complety absurd and ridiculous.
Also, both have protagonists with completely opposite alter egos: While back street girls are yakuzas who become into idols, in detroit metal city a sweet boy (even effeminate) acts like the devil himself when he is on stage.

Just as DMC, Gokudolls is based on absurd and somewhat "random" humor. The animation in both shows is rather unique (though some may consider it 'lazy'). When it comes to enjoyment, both DMC and Gokudolls have a similar style of humor, and both are centered around musical bands (though the styles are very different).
If you liked the shock humor and fast-paced comedy of one show, you will certainly like the other.
Both are about singers who don’t want to be singers but are forced into it and they are making music that is completely different from what they want to do.
In DMC the main vocalist and also the main character just wants to be the indie singer but he actually ended up in a metal band and he is keeping it a secret from friends and family. In gokudolls the main characters have changed their gender and became idols, but they are actually yakuza.
