A few weeks ago I first heard The Struts single Kiss This and immediately loved it. To me it sounded like a super catchy throwback to 80’s pop-rock. Then today when I started to do what passes for research for my blog posts, I found this quote on Wikipedia: “The Struts have been described as “unabashedly over the top retro-fetishist classic rock”, “glamourous and dangerous”, and as “having a chance to spark a real rock revival with their hooky glam sound, which manages to pay tribute to the classics, while remaining impeccably modern“. They’re a four man band from Derby, Derbyshire England. Give this song a listen and be prepared to fight your urge to sing out loud.
You can also follow #TheStruts on Twitter if you want to keep up with their tour and new releases. Have a great Monday! ~Phil
Nice find!
Had you heard of them before? From what I read it sounded like they had some success in the UK before catching on over here this year.
Nope, never heard of them
Love the Struts!
Hey have a great sound, don’t they? And the lead singer’s costumes and stage presence reminds me of Freddie Mercury .
Oh yes, for sure. He actually kind of looks like him.
Struts Rock! er Yeah they are retro alright.
