Ep. 68: From the Pit to the Backstage Q&A - Our Day on The Struts' Anniversary Tour
This week, we're finally taking you on the road with us as we experienced the electrifying 10th Anniversary Everybody Wants tour in Pittsburgh.
We're pulling back the curtain on our entire day, sharing what it was really like to see The Struts breathe new life into this iconic album ten years on. But we didn't just watch the show—we got to chat with some amazing fans right before their Q&A to find out which song is the unexpected sleeper hit of the tour, and we even snagged some time with incredible tour photographer Madeline Northway to hear about the whirlwind of being on her first tour ever.
From backstage stories to front-row energy, it was a night that proved this band is more powerful than ever, and we're bringing you right into the heart of it.

Ep. 64: The Struts Rewind - Adam & Luke’s First Impressions of America in 2015
Step back into 2015 with us as The Struts relive the summer when Everybody Wants first hit U.S. shores. In this nostalgic episode, Adam and Luke crack open their old Spotify playlists, revealing a mix as eclectic as Paolo Nutini, Johnny Cash, Queen, and Arctic Monkeys. They revisit the TV obsessions of the time—Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and the cultural frenzy around Making a Murderer—while laughing at the questionable movies that defined that year (yes, even 50 Shades of Grey). Most importantly, they share their raw first impressions of America: the chaos of Hollywood versus the dream of late-night TV, tea parties with fans in San Diego, and the wide-eyed thrill of playing their first House of Blues shows. It’s a time capsule full of humor, honesty, and the fire that fueled a band on the rise. Tune in and see just how much of your own 2015 memories align with theirs.
