EP. 73: Beyond the Setlist - Gethin Davies' Definitive Debrief of the Anniversary Tour
As we officially close the book on the incredible Everybody Wants 10th Anniversary Tour, it's only fitting we end with a final, behind-the-scenes debrief from the one and only Gethin Davies.
Fresh off the road, Geth joins me to pull back the curtain on a tour that was more than just a celebration—it was a revelation. What really happened in San Diego that brought the last decade full circle in a way no one planned?
Which fan questions during the new Q&A sessions left the band speechless, and which ones will they never, ever answer again? From the grueling schedules and near-disasters of early van life to the Texas barbecue obsession that took over the bus, Gethin shares the untold stories you won’t hear anywhere else. But most importantly, discover how this nostalgic journey back in time has unexpectedly ignited the creative fire for album number five, setting the stage for the next ten years of The Struts.

Ep. 72: New Album Direction Revealed & The Power of a Perfect Sing-Along
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.
