==History==

=== Formation and early years (2012–2014) ===
thumb|upright|Luke Spiller performing in 2012
Singer-songwriter Luke Spiller was raised in [Bristol](/source/Bristol) in a [Christian](/source/Christians) family. His exposure to music was mainly limited to [gospel music](/source/gospel_music), until the age of seven, when he discovered [Michael Jackson](/source/Michael_Jackson)'s ''[Off the Wall](/source/Off_the_Wall_(album))''. Inspired by Jackson, his first aspirations were to be a contemporary dancer, but by the age of 11, he was listening to [Led Zeppelin](/source/Led_Zeppelin), [Queen](/source/Queen_(band)), [AC/DC](/source/AC%2FDC), and [Leonard Cohen](/source/Leonard_Cohen), and in addition to pretending to be Jackson in front of a mirror, he was imitating [Bon Scott](/source/Bon_Scott) and [Freddie Mercury](/source/Freddie_Mercury). He began playing in bands as a teenager, only starting to sing at age 16.<ref name="Popular anti social">{{cite web|last1=Kaplan|first1=Ilana|title=Introducing the Struts|url=http://www.populartv.com/music/introducing-the-struts/|website=Popular|access-date=22 October 2015}}</ref><ref name="gettothefront.co.uk">{{cite web|url=http://gettothefront.co.uk/2012/11/interview-the-struts/|title=Interview: The Struts - GetToTheFront|work=GetToTheFront}}</ref><ref name="Birmingham Mail">{{cite news|last1=Probert|first1=Sarah|title=Indie Newcomers Ready to Strut Their Stuff|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife-news/preview-struts-play-hare-hounds-7143854|access-date=22 October 2015|newspaper=Birmingham Mail|date=20 May 2014}}</ref><ref name=WMN>{{cite news|last1=B.|first1=Jackie|title=The Struts Devon Frontman is Ready to Seize the Crown|url=http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Struts-Devon-frontman-ready-seize-rock-s-crown/story-21166219-detail/story.html|access-date=22 October 2015|newspaper=Western Morning News|date=30 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150824211011/http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/Struts-Devon-frontman-ready-seize-rock-s-crown/story-21166219-detail/story.html|archive-date=24 August 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref><ref name=Radio>{{cite web|last1=Tilles|first1=Jay|title=The Struts Channel Classic British Rock Icons|url=http://radio.com/2015/09/30/the-struts-interview/|website=radio.com|publisher=Radio|access-date=22 October 2015|date=30 September 2015}}</ref>

In 2009, Spiller, then living in [Clevedon](/source/Clevedon), met Derby-based guitarist/songwriter Adam Slack, who had also been playing with bands since his teens. At the time, each of their bands were "coming apart," and Slack and Spiller quickly connected musically. Spiller moved to Derby, where he and Slack lived, wrote, and recorded together for nearly three years. They recruited mutual friends Jamie Binns and Rafe Thomas to play bass and drums. In 2012, Binns and Thomas were replaced with bassist Jed Elliott and drummer Gethin Davies, forming the Struts.<ref name="USA Today">{{cite news|last1 = Ryan|first1 = Patrick|title = On The Verge: The Struts|url = https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2015/09/03/--verge--struts-could-have-been-me/71425846/|access-date = 21 October 2015|newspaper = USA Today|date = 14 September 2015}}</ref><ref name="Coatsville Times">{{cite news|last1=Dyroff|first1=Denny|title=On Stage|url=http://coatesvilletimes.com/?p=11291|access-date=22 October 2015|publisher=Coatesville Times|date=13 September 2015}}</ref>

The band chose the name the Struts based on an offhand comment made at a rehearsal. Spiller said in a 2015 interview, "I was just moving around and somebody was like, 'you strut around a lot.' From then on, we knew we had a great name. We couldn't believe it hadn't been taken."<ref name="Popular anti social" /><ref name="Birmingham Mail"/><ref name="WMN"/><ref name="Radio"/>
 
The band played frequently throughout the UK. They soon developed a following and released their first single, "I Just Know", in June 2012. Signed by Future Records, they were transferred to [Virgin EMI](/source/Virgin_EMI_Records) after Future's demise and subsequently put out a four-track EP titled ''Kiss This'', which includes a cover of "[Royals](/source/Royals_(Lorde_song))" by [Lorde](/source/Lorde).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lytsrFos0uw|title=The Struts - Royals|website=[YouTube](/source/YouTube)|date=28 Jul 2018}}</ref>

The Struts toured extensively in England and France, and in 2014 performed for 80,000 people as the opener for [the Rolling Stones](/source/the_Rolling_Stones) in Paris. That summer, they did a 24-date tour, which included a gig at the [Isle of Wight Festival](/source/Isle_of_Wight_Festival_2014). Spiller wore clothing designed for him by [Zandra Rhodes](/source/Zandra_Rhodes), who formerly dressed Freddie Mercury. The production of Rhodes' clothing for Spiller was later featured on the [BBC](/source/BBC) documentary ''Oh You Pretty Things: The Story of Music and Fashion''.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0278wnj |title=BBC Four - Oh You Pretty Things: The Story of Music and Fashion, Idols, Zandra Rhodes designs for Luke Spiller of The Struts |date=24 September 2014 |publisher=Bbc.co.uk |access-date=2015-09-18}}</ref><ref name="Derby Telegraph">{{cite news|last1=Hawley|first1=Zena|title=The Struts: Derby band to support Rolling Stones in Paris gig|url=http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Struts-Derby-band-support-Rolling-Stones-Paris/story-21152518-detail/story.html|access-date=22 October 2015|newspaper=Derby Telegraph|date=28 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151031001705/http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Struts-Derby-band-support-Rolling-Stones-Paris/story-21152518-detail/story.html|archive-date=31 October 2015|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

As the Struts reputation as a live band grew, their audience increased, and their shows were frequently sold-out. Spiller's talent as a frontman was often noted by the press and reviews described him as "a force of nature" and as a "physical, mesmerising entertainer... vocally strong, expressive and blessed with excellent range".  Spiller's looks and stage presence led Roger Goodgroves of ''Get To the Front'' to describe him as "the musical love child of Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger".<ref name="gettothefront.co.uk"/>

[Mike Oldfield](/source/Mike_Oldfield) recruited Spiller to sing on his 2014 album ''[Man on the Rocks](/source/Man_on_the_Rocks)''. He ended up singing the whole album main vocals instead of just one song, as planned by Mike. "He did a much better job of sounding like a rock star than me," Oldfield said.<ref name="music news">{{cite web|title=The Struts announce debut album 'Everybody Wants'|url=http://www.music-news.com/news/UK/79860/Read|website=Music-news.com|access-date=22 October 2015|date=24 May 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Gislena|first1=Anna|title=The Struts - Dingwalls, Camden - October 21 2014 (Live Review)|url=http://www.stereoboard.com/content/view/187920/9|website=Stereoboard.com|access-date=22 October 2015|date=30 October 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopfeatures/10676856/Pop.html |title=Mike Oldfield interview: 'I am a man of extremes' |website=Telegraph.co.uk |date=2014-03-07 |access-date=2015-09-18}}</ref><ref name="entertaimnet">{{cite web|url=https://entertaimnet.wordpress.com/2019/10/29/home-is-where-i-charge-my-phone-the-struts-interview-with-luke-spiller/|title=HOME IS WHERE I CHARGE MY PHONE – THE STRUTS – INTERVIEW WITH LUKE SPILLER |website=entertaim.net |date=2019-10-29 |access-date=2019-10-29}}</ref>

In June 2018, the band announced it had finished recording its second album, which was in the final mixing stages. Luke Spiller said, "I think everyone's really going to enjoy it. We were very much aware that even though the band has lived with the first album and the songs that come with it for quite a while, for everyone else, it's relatively fresh. So I felt like it was really important to make this second album somewhat depart from the first one. Not a departure musically, I didn't want to go completely left.
