Brit-rockers The Struts have released a new single, How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart). The release comes just three months after the Derbyshire quartet's fourth album Pretty Vicious, hit the stores, and finds normally flamboyant frontman Luke Spiller in more reflective mood than usual.
"How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart) is a brutally honest song that takes me right back to that moment when the phrase came to me," says Spiller. “It has a Rod Stewart vibe to it, which is definitely something we haven't done before. I also adore the backing vocal section, which has a Fleetwood Mac feel that’s never a bad thing. The lyric was laboured over for a long time, which I hope people will appreciate."
How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart) is the first of two new songs that The Struts will release this month, and comes ahead of a run of Australian dates with Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. The band then travel to Canada for a tour with Queens Of The Stone Age, before a pair of shows with Staind in the US followed by a run of headline dates and festival shows. Two outdoor dates are booked for June, including what's essentially a homecoming gig at the UK's Download festival. Full dates below.
