Scott sits with Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Jed Elliot, and Gethin Davies of The Struts, one of today’s premier new rock and roll bands. They talk about the band’s rise to the top of the “new band heap” and how the band formed in their young, formative years. They outline their early influences, including James Brown, the Rolling Stones, Jackson 5, and Queen. The band recalls their start performing David Bowie and Led Zeppelin covers, how they developed the band’s visuals, and how they decided on the name The Struts. Luke, Adam, Jed, and Gethin also remember their first UK release, the first French station that played their album, and their big break opening for the Rolling Stones. They speak about breaking into the US by opening up for Guns N’ Roses and the Foo Fighters and convey their views on the current state of rock-n-roll. The group discusses the Queen movie (Bohemian Rhapsody) and draws comparisons to their own experiences as a band, then concludes by divulging the naughtiest thing that Luke ever did in school.
