Description


Are you ready to dive deep into the archives of rock 'n' roll history with me?


On this week’s episode of The Struts Life, I’m bringing back the fan-favorite Waps for a no-holds-barred dissection of the fifty—yes, fifty!—bands that have dared to open for The Struts over the last decade.


We aren’t just reading a list; we are decoding the secret formula of what actually makes a killer opening act capable of matching Luke Spiller's electric energy, and dropping some seriously hot takes on who brought the thunder and who just brought the noise. From the chaotic genius of Starcrawler to the infectious vibes of Des Rocs, and a few controversial opinions that might just divide the Strutters community (we’re looking at you, Purple Rain haters), we are covering it all.


Plus, we’re placing our bets on the absolute dream lineup for a hypothetical 2026 tour—did your favorite underground band make our cut, or did we leave them in the dust?
