On the heels of their debut album Everybody Wants, U.K. rockers The Struts release a five-song EP, entitled Live And Unplugged, today (Fri, March 3rd) via all digital retailers. The EP features stripped-down live acoustic versions of tracks from Everybody Wants, which was released last year by Interscope Records and has crossed 100K album equivalents.
Included on Live And Unplugged are performances of โCould Have Been Me,โ โPut Your Money On Me,โ and โWhere Did She Goโ captured at radio during The Strutsโ first week in the U.S. in 2015, as well as โKiss Thisโ and covers of Drakeโs โHotline Blingโ and The Vaccinesโ โI Always Knew,โ that were recorded at Universal Music UK. Taken together, the EP reflects the band’s rise as one of the hottest acts of 2016.
โWe have been in the studio working hard on the next album and weโre pleased to say itโs going fantastic,โ says Struts front man Luke Spiller. โBut we wanted to put together something special to hold the fans over till we can share new music this summer.โ
The Struts popularity is going global. The band, which formed in Derby, England in 2012, just played two sold-out shows in Osaka and Tokyo to adoring fans. They will be in tour in the U.S. in May. Please see below for all upcoming tour dates.
