Lunges for your glutes. The first time I did them I felt like I was sodomized by a large prisoner for close to a week. But sodomized in a good way.
No homo.

Lo, and Behold! My glutes are actually sore! My glutes are NEVER sore! Dammit, I just may have to go back next week and see if this was a fluke or if I finally found a great way to work them.
I'm more wary of the knee implications than I am of the rectal discomfort, but I'll give them a shot. Thanks Fenn.
Hey Spacebar, I'd say if you're having only limited success you might want to graduate your efforts and see if they give more results. If I were you I'd definitely schedule a few massages, say at least once a week for 3-4 weeks, that focus on getting the knots out of your quads and realigning the fibers, as well as separating the muscles from one another. The vastus group and the lateral hamstrings tend to get really adhered, as do the vastus group and the adductors. As well, the v. intermedius can get super stuck to the femur, and since it's so deep foam rolling rarely gets to it. If you get to a good LMT and tell them what you want (is the above paragraph) you should do just fine.
As far as foam rolling and stretching go, I'm not sure what you're currently using to SMR, but often times people stick to "foam rollers" when they'd be better served by using medicine balls or even PVC rollers; essentially, you need to get in there and really try to separate the muscles and get rid of the deep adhesions, the ones that are causing the joint space to become restricted and sending pain signals.
Here to bug you about visiting my log! I need to get some criticism out of you and I KNOW you have free time these 2 weeks ...because YOU told me so!
First week almost gone now! (being a dick, I know!)
Good work on that weird machine-thing btw!
If you have issues with your back, why are you deadlifting?
Today or tomorrow, for sure.
Also stressing like crazy the last 3-4 days, and had a bad nights sleep.
