The Struts’ Luke Spiller: In-store with TVD at DC’s Som Records
PHOTOS: RICHIE DOWNS | If there’s one thing that makes us happy to no end of late, it’s the return of good ol’ glam rock and roll to the airwaves, record stores, and turntables—and if there’s one band at its fore, it’s the UK four-piece The Struts who Dave Grohl famously cited as the Foo Fighters […]
