The Struts at The Stage AE

Formed in Derby, in Derbyshire, England in 2009, The Struts are an English rock band consisting of vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies. With a retro glam rock sound, the group has been compared to Queen, The Darkness, The Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, The Killers, The Smiths, Oasis, The Libertines, The Strokes, and My Chemical Romance. The band came to public attention in 2014 when they opened for The Rolling Stones in front of an audience of 80,000 people in Paris, and their reputation grew when Spiller was featured as a singer on Mike Oldfield's album Man on the Rocks. The group released its debut album, Everybody Wants, in July 2014 in the UK to positive reviews, leading to a record deal with Interscope Records/Polydor. Their second and most recent album, Young and Dangerous, was released in 2018.
