Hot on the heels of a raucous string of UK shows which garnered breathless adoration not just from their thousands of fans, but critics alike in the walth of glowing live reviews, The Struts release their brand new single ‘Can’t Stop Talking’ today, via Big Machine Rock.
The instantly fun track is a throwback to the best of mod-inspired British rock as frontman Luke Spiller details escapades he’s gotten himself into (and out of) for his lack of filter. It’s a new sound and era for the acclaimed band, further cementing their reputation for being equally timeless and trendsetting.
“Arriving into the studio that day, I really wanted to try something that the band had never done before. It was very off the cuff, and everyone in the room was laughing a lot. Sometimes that’s a great sign,” Spiller explains. “What’s the point in not enjoying the process? I think that’s why we can get away with a song that is beautifully bizarre. It’s because I actually mean the lyrics, even if they do come across light-hearted. Believe me. I lived through that character in the song many times.”
The Struts have been a live sensation since they first erupted onto the scene with their US certified-Platinum anthem, ‘Could Have Been Me’, hitting the Top 5 on US radio charts and introducing the world to their triumphant, timeless rock sound.
Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut, 2016’s Everybody Wants, the British rockers set out on the road, bringing their energetic tracks to the stage with larger-than-life performances and cementing their reputation as a must-see live act. Lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies have continued to prove themselves worthy of that distinction since first coming together in Derby, England back in 2012. They’ve opened for the likes of The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and Guns N’ Roses, while selling out shows across the globe and leaving a trail of unbridled rock collections, including 2018’s Young & Dangerous and 2020’s Strange Days, in their wake.
Their on-stage prowess and perpetual musicality have allowed them to reach the No. 1 Spot on Spotify’s Viral Top 50, garner more than 850M on-demand streams, and put them in the studio collaborating with Robbie Williams, Kesha, Tom Morello, Def Leppard, and more.
Charting a new era with their 2023 debut Big Machine album, Pretty Vicious, the band earned praise from across the board and made a triumphant return to the main stage at Download Festival earlier this summer. Now, the LA-based rockers return to continue upon their recent success with the instantly fun new single, ‘Can’t Stop Talking’, currently available on all platforms.
