  Glam metal
Glam metal is a sub-genre of heavy metal music that arose in the late 1970s in the United States.
Generally, Glam metal is of an aggressive style, with lyrics often focusing on girls, drinking, drug use, and many of the first wave bands had songs pertaining to the occult.
The second wave on glam metal would prove to be the most commerically successful for the genre as a whole, and enjoyed widespread success during the 1980s, but bands would sometimes find themselves on the wrong side of critics and certain sections of the music industry.

 entertainment.iafrica.com | features Darkness descends as glam metal hits Britain
Treading a flamboyant line between 1980s heavy metal and 1970s glam rock, The Darkness have taken Britain by storm and could even make it cool for kids to listen to their parents' music — although the spandex catsuits might be a step too far.
While they unleash a noise not unlike heavy metal bands of the 1980s such as Def Leppard and Guns 'N' Roses, many feel the true secret to The Darkness's success is a "try anything" attitude reminiscent of the glam rock era.

This music was created as the "soundtrack" for a comedy TV show on BBC2 called "The Glam Metal Detectives" and which had a limited run in 1995 in the UK.
The credits for The Glam Metal Detectives as "musicians" on this CD (specifically, Sara, Gary, Phil, George and Doon) may be part of the spoof.
It is more likely that the music was really played by the other listed musicians (especially since it doesn't list any instruments for them!).

 BBC - Comedy Guide - The Glam Metal Detectives
Using as its linking device the technique of a random trawl through spoof cable/satellite TV channels, The Glam Metal Detectives was a lightning-paced sketch show which featured four recurring themes within its array of short visual jokes and soundbites.
The main sketch each week was an adventure with the Glam Metal Detectives, a sort of secret-agent rock band pledged to take care of the world's ecological balance - led by their manager, the square-jawed Mark, they fight various nefarious threats to the balance of nature.
This sketch ran throughout episodes, interrupted by the sudden zaps to other channels.
