WMMR debuted The Struts' new track, "Too Good at Raising Hell" on Friday, June 30th.

The Struts are strolling into their new era of music with a surging, sexy, and swaggering summer-ready anthem that aims to flip rock-n-roll on its head. With a driving chorus and climbing guitars, the band offers up cheeky-yet-surprisingly-introspective lyrics. It features lines like: “Sex so good make the neighbors smoke a cigarette / But I’m still bored to death.” It’s the perfect introduction to a newly perfected sound brimming with riotous, arena-ready tracks.

It’s been nearly a decade since The Struts erupted onto the music scene with their behemoth anthem, “Could’ve Been Me." Lead vocalist Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliott, and drummer Gethin Davies have continued to prove themselves worthy of great rock distinction since first coming together back in 2012. The Struts have turned their gaze toward making music that embodies the raw, raucous nature of their live shows, fusing their arena-size energy into their most honest, consistent, and exciting songs to date.

Our very own Radio Sara sat down with lead singer Luke Spiller recently for an episode of "How I Wrote That Song." Hear what he had to say to her about this new era and more!

"Complete concert coverage. I haven't said that in a long time." Pierre Robert had a moment of clarity while filing live reports from the first concert of the Live In Drive In series. Live music is back, in a socially distant way, and WMMR was there to celebrate its return. The Struts brought all the energy you could hope for and more. After playing all their stick your head out the sunroof hits, adapting crowd interactions from "jump up and down" to "honk along" and debuting three brand new songs from their new record, we'd say they made it a memorable night. Enjoy these photos from the night provided by our friends at Live Nation.      [More Live In Drive In photos, tickets & info]
