Year 5, Day 23

Hi. Today's song is Could Have Been Me by The Struts.


It takes awhile for the song to start in this video, but it'll be worth it once you hear the music. This is another English rock band, hailing from Derby this time. Members include Luke Spiller, Adam Slack, Jed Elliott, Gethin Davies. That's the current lineup at least. Back when they formed in 2009 the last two guys weren't there and we had Jamie Binns and drummer Rafe Thomas instead. When Spiller and Slack met in 2009 they were both in bands that were tearing at the seams, so when they clicked it was perfect for both of them. They made music like that for three years and recruited their friends to play with them until they found the other two later on. The band name was from a slip of the tongue at a rehearsal which is awesome. "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." They have great music, and are kind of on the way (if not there already) to being rock gods, having shared the stage with The Rolling Stone, The Who, and Guns N' Roses. So check out their other stuff if you like it.

Peace.
