The Great Glam Rock Revival

One of the pleasant surprises of this new(ish) millennium has been the mostly unheralded revival of 70s glam. It's not surprising that it's been an influence - I mean, you can hear Iggy, the Dolls, Bowie, or Mott in almost every non-metal high energy guitar band of the past 50 years (almost) - but what I do find surprising is the rebirth of that rolling, boot stomping beat of the obscure junk shop glam bands that followed in the jetstream of the originators and had a lifespan of the 3 minutes it took to play their single. There's a previous UHM mix that focuses entirely on that era here, if you're at all interested. 

And just a note on a couple of entries: these Crash Street Kids are a different band than the Crash Street Kids idolized in power pop circles for their "Into You" single in the 80s (although both are named after a Mott the Hoople song), and this Flash Bastard is a band from LA, as opposed to the similarly monikered bunch from Vancouver (compiled on previous mixes), and the GospelbeacH track is a cover of a song by Chunky (who were one of those aforementioned junk shop bands).
