Glam rock, we've said it before, is perfect for Christmas season. It's festive, the chorusses are perfect for singalongs, usually the good sides of the feast are highlighted. On this blog, we've featured old & new glam Xmas HERE, and recently HERE.
Today, somebody pointed me to The Voltz. This lot from Sheffield (UK) have a single called 'Glitterbomb', which tells you all you need to know. The handclaps, the riffs, the chorus, the spacey synths, the 'break the rules' lyrics, it's all there.
