The Struts - Everyone Wants

The Struts combine the pomp and glamour of Queen at their most outrageous with the indie sensibilities of Sultans Of Ping.  The indie snob in us should hate it and on any basis it should be a shambolic mess.  But it's not, it's a thirty-five minute glam-rock stomp that's massive amounts of fun.

The Struts - Manchester HMV - 28th July 2014

When two of your friends of different vintage, of very different musical upbringings and taste, post extremely complimentary comments about a band, your interest is inevitably piqued.  We nipped along to HMV's new store in Manchester Arndale to catch The Struts play a short acoustic show.
