Derby rockers The Struts have released Primadonna Like Me, the second track to emerge from their second, as-yet-unnamed follow-up to debut album Everybody Wants. The release follows the launch of Body Talks last month.
In a statement, Primadonna Like Me is described as "A foot-stomping, disco-inflected, glitter-drenched rocker, full of Stones-y swagger and boasting a chorus that has already had audiences worldwide roaring it back at the band within seconds of hearing it."
“Primadonna Like Me was written about my stage character, my alter ego,” says band frontman Luke Spiller. “It’s this completely deluded guy running around his small town, all dressed to the nines - a full-on 21st century dandy going around saying, ‘Don’t you know who I think I am?’”
The band have just finished touring The US with the Foo Fighters, and embark on a North American headline tour next month (dates below). UK dates are expected to be announced shortly.
"They’re the best opening band we’ve ever had, says Dave Grohl. “That kid Luke, the singer, it’s unbelievable. He’ll walk out in front of an audience in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where nobody has ever heard of them and by the end of the show he’ll have the entire audience in the palm of his hand.”
