Welcome back to The Struts Life!

It feels like it's been ages, but I finally got the chance to sit down and catch up with the one and only Adam Slack after a truly wild couple of months.

Plus, we get a much-anticipated and exclusive update on the writing process for Album 5—you'll want to hear why he feels this is the most inspired and creative the band has ever been. As the musical landscape shifts back towards guitar rock, are the stars finally aligning for The Struts?

We dive deep into that and get the scoop on the upcoming special shows, from an intimate night at the Grammy Museum to the legendary annual Christmas bash at the Harry Dog.

After celebrating ten years of Everybody Wants, we're diving back to the very beginning.

Forget "Could Have Been Me"; this week on The Struts Life, Luke Spiller reveals the true origin story of the band, hidden within the anthem that started it all: "Where Did She Go." Luke shares the wild tale of how a drunken, teenage walk home in Torquay birthed the melody that became the band's essential DNA, ultimately leading to the first record deal. Beyond the deep cuts and formative rock history, Luke gives an exclusive, detailed look at the creative direction for the new Struts album—a commitment to pure, cohesive, "glam stomping" sing-alongs inspired by the band’s earliest tracks.

Plus, hear the latest on Luke's mostly sold-out solo acoustic tour and find out what really went down when The Struts recently celebrated their heroes, Def Leppard, at Joe Elliott’s Hollywood star reveal.

If you want the full, electrifying story of fate, ambition, and earworm choruses, you know where to click.
