Hot off the release of their hugely acclaimed fourth album,
Pretty Vicious, platinum-selling rock band
The Struts are back with a new track that takes a refreshingly mellow detour for the irrepressibly flamboyant four-piece.
Just in time for Valentine’s Day,
‘How Can I Love You (Without Breaking Your Heart)’ is an achingly sincere song that ruminates on handling a heart with care when caution is all you have to offer. The track showcases the ever-evolving songwriting brilliance of the quartet, with gorgeous instrumentation and a wonderful vocal performance from singer Luke Spiller.
“’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,” Spiller explains.
“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.”

The single is the first of two new tracks that The Struts will be releasing this month, together forming a brand new digital double A-side single, as a gift for their fans who have made last year’s album
Pretty Vicious such a worldwide success. The title track of that album, which is already a huge hit on Alternative Radio in the US, has been the #1 Most Requested song on the Sirius XM Alternative Countdown for the past three weeks.
The Struts hit the road this month as they support Slash featuring Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators in Australia and Queens of the Stone Age in Canada, before continuing their headlining tour in the US, with a string of festival shows to come. Additionally, Luke Spiller is set to perform at the 2024 Love Rocks benefit show at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on March 7
th, alongside The Black Keys, Hozier, Nile Rogers, Tom Morello, and more.
This summer the band will be back in the UK for a highly-anticipated Main Stage performance at Download Festival. When they played there a few years ago, they attracted an enormous crowd and were one of the hottest draws of the whole weekend. Expect an even more iconic performance in 2024!
