What a great song! It definitely has a James Bond sounding theme to it.

The whole album is fucking great. Tons of James Bond sounding tracks.

Is that Taylor Hawkins' kid on drums?

The more I listen to this album, the more I realize how great it is. Surprised more on here aren’t talking about it. Mojo is right, tons of songs made for movies (but not just Bond movies)!

Yep. It’s Taylor on the recording and his kid in the video.

Love The Struts! Didn't realize this album was out already! Will give it a listen!!!

I hate to say it, but I like each of their albums less than the last one. They started out really strong with lots of great songs on the first 2 records. Nothing worth speaking of on the next 2 other than the duet with Robbie Williams (Strange Days)

Is this a true solo album? No Struts? Did he write and get a new band?

The band is touring still even though he's got a solo album out. That seems odd to me!

I agree. First two albums were great and then each one after that was weaker than the last. I feel like they were always stuck in first gear and just couldn't take it to the next level. I was always waiting for that song that had an awesome riff or something and it just never came. It's like they were trying really hard to be safe and write hits, and in the process they were too pop for rock and too rock for pop. They're great live but that's never really come across with their records after the first two. And they're no longer a baby band as they've been around for over 10 years now. If they were gonna break, they would have already.

Luke's record is a true solo album. He's been writing these songs since 2020 or so. It basically sounds like a James Bond soundtrack. It's good but it wasn't even in the iTunes top 200 releases the week it came out. I kind of don't get why it even came out as he's touring with The Struts this summer and there's been very little promotion for it.
