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.

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.

Luke Spiller and Marc LaBelle join Eddie Trunk to discuss their bands' joint tour and musical journeys. They dive into their Bad Company tribute contributions, with The Struts' 'Rock and Roll Fantasy' and Dirty Honey's 'Rock Steady' releases. Luke shares the emotional story behind Brian May's collaboration on the 10th anniversary version of 'Could Have Been Me,' while both frontmen reflect on casino gigs, audience demographics, and the challenges of creating setlists.

The band the Struts play LIVE, Cousin Brucie, Gerry Cooney, Bernard Hopkins, Mike Bocchetti, Craig Gass, Vic Henley and Chuck Nice 3/28The final year of my radio journey holds a special place in my heart, made even more poignant by the loss of my cherished friends, Carl Ruiz and Vic Henley. Reflecting on that time, I rediscovered the pure passion and exhilaration that drew me to radio in the first place. Amidst the chaos and challenges, we found endless moments of hilarity and camaraderie. Alongside Carl, Vic, and Sherrod Small, we shared unforgettable experiences both on and off the airwaves, our tight-knit bond shining through every episode. That year also marked Carl Ruiz's meteoric rise to stardom, inspiring me to launch the Opie Radio podcast with him. I'm immensely grateful to Erock, Clubsoda Kenny, Paul, and Louis for joining us on this wild ride. Get ready to dive into the rollercoaster of emotions—the highs, the lows, and the laugh-out-loud moments—that defined my last year in radio. 

As autumn rolls in, The Struts Life dives into a moment of change—both in season and in the band's journey.

With the 10-year chapter closing, the conversation teases fresh music, new creative rituals, and a call for fans to help shape how the band stays connected during this so-called “creative retreat.” It's intimate, it's electric, and it hints at the future without ever giving too much away. If you want to be among the first to glimpse what The Struts are building for the next decade, this episode is the one you don't want to miss. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

With the current tour bringing back all the nostalgia for the summer of 2015 when Everybody Wants first took America by storm, I thought it was time to take you on a trip down memory lane.

This week on The Struts Life, I sit down with Jed Elliott for a whirlwind of tour tales and hard-won wisdom from opening for rock royalty—The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Queens of the Stone Age, and more. Jed relives that pinch-me leap from pub gigs to 80,000 screaming fans, a back-of-the-house “enjoy the ride, boys” from Roger Daltrey, backstage mayhem with Dave and Taylor at MSG, and a goosebump moment when Brandon Flowers praised “Could've Been Me.” We get real about what younger bands should never do on a big stage (leave early, keep it classy backstage), why a great camp matters, and the dream double bill The Struts still crave—Queen with Adam Lambert.

What does it take for a fan to fall in love all over again? This week on The Struts Life, we welcome a guest whose story proves the sheer, transformative power of live rock and roll. His journey begins with a lifelong devotion to his first love, Aerosmith, taking us through an unlikely series of events involving Hilton Honors rewards, a star-studded charity gala for Steven Tyler, and the Grammys. But everything shifts the moment Luke Spiller takes the stage for an unplanned, on-the-fly performance of a Rolling Stones classic that completely changes the energy in the room. This is the incredible story of how a broken heart for one rock and roll legend was instantly healed by the undeniable charisma and raw talent of another, and it's a must-listen for anyone who understands how a single Struts concert can create a fan for life.

To celebrate 10 years of Everybody Wants, we're doing something a little different on this episode of The Struts Life. Instead of our usual chat, we had you, the Strutters, send in your burning questions via voicemail, and let's just say you did not disappoint! Join Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Gethin Davies, and Jed Elliott as they pull back the curtain on one of the most pivotal times in the band's career. We dive deep into the real stories behind the songwriting, the intense pressure from the record label to change their entire image (picture Luke with short, black hair and Nike trainers), and the surprising truth about their smash hit "Could Have Been Me" – a song they didn't even think was that special at first. Hear the band reveal which songs almost didn't make the cut, what they really think of that dated lyric in "She Makes Me Feel Like," and get some massive spoilers for the upcoming 10th Anniversary Tour setlist. Trust me, you think you know the story of Everybody Wants, but you have no idea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Midnight At The Valencia" Before all this rock and roll stuff, Tom Hollister was a highly touted Rugby player from Wales. I'll let him tell you how his career as an athlete was derailed as a young man in Canada, but let me just say this: when he got back to Wales, he channeled all that athletic energy into another sport entirely: the making of music. In 2010, of all the emerging buzzbands, Cardinal Black was one of the buzziest. Guns N' Roses' longtime manager Alan Niven was overseeing the band's activity and let's just say this: it was active. They were invited by Steve Winwood to record at his studio, they played a killer set at Sonisphere and they flew to the U.S. to record an album. But things didn't go as planned and the band hit pause on a career that was about to kick into overdrive. I'll let Tom tell you about that dark time as well, but, and I don't think this is a spoiler, the dark times are over and Cardinal Black 2.0 are in fighting shape and adding brilliant achievements to their resume' with each passing day. They've hit #1 on the iTunes Rock Singles Chart, they've played sold-out headline shows in all over the world, supported Myles Kennedy, The Struts and Peter Frampton thanks to a personal invitation from the man himself, and played Joe Bonamassa's Keeping The Blues Alive rock cruise. The band's new long player Midnight At The Valencia is a smooth blend of simmering soul, bluesy ballads and shimmering, rootsy genius. Hollister's stirring vocals are drenched with heart and with the brilliant guitar playing of Chris Buck weaving throughout the band's compositions, Midnight At The Valencia is one of those records that evades the timeline. When you put it on it could be 1971 or 1993 or now. Or all of it. I love this record and I love this band and Tom is a humble, thoughtful and kind soul. www.thecardinalblack.com (http://www.thecardinalblack.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

What does it really mean to build a world where everyone belongs — not just in policy or design, but in spirit? In this powerful and poetic conversation, I sit down with Qudsiya Naqui, civil rights attorney and host of Down to the Struts, to explore the deep intersections of disability, justice, identity, and radical access.We talk candidly about the shame Qudsiya once carried, what losing her vision taught her about intuition, and how love, advocacy, and design can become tools of liberation. Together, we unpack what society still gets wrong about disability — and what we must reimagine to get it right.From hidden canes to courtroom truths, this episode is both a call to consciousness and a blueprint for inclusion. Whether you're disabled, an ally, or just waking up to these questions, this conversation offers insight, warmth, and clarity you won't want to miss.
