Music Review: The Struts
The Norva

I love checking out new artists all the time, and I’m pretty sure I struck gold when looked into The Struts after hearing their hit “Could Have Been Me” on an alternative radio station. Just making their US debut last year, the British rock band comprised of lead singer Luke Spiller, guitarist Adam Slack, bassist Jed Elliot, and drummer Gethin Davies has it all, from edge to depth.

The band heavily resembles legendary rock bands, especially Queen, but still maintains originality with its unique sound. Spiller’s voice is unbelievable with its range and rasp, and his image with layers of jet-black hair and dark cloak-like clothes adds to the uniqueness of the band as a whole. The songs are catchy, yet deep, and the way the band performs them is with emotion that keeps you on your feet but thinking.

Here are a few songs off their debut album “Everybody Wants” that you should check out.

“Could Have Been Me” – This is the main hit that gained the band popularity in the US, and it’s a good starter to get a sense of what the whole album sounds like through one song. The music video is a great supplement to what the song is all about.

“Kiss This” – This song shows off Spiller’s voice beautifully. It has a great sense of sass.

“Put Your Money on Me” – This is one of my favorites. The lyrics are incredibly well-written and describe someone who might not have it all together but still deserves a chance.

“Dirty Sexy Money” – Definitely my other favorite. The lyrics have a carefree, rowdy style that is perfect for a party type of playlist. Spiller’s voice is absolutely amazing in this one too, especially in the first verse.

“Where Did She Go” – This is my favorite song to hear live. This song is simple lyrics-wise, but the band spices it up with different sounds throughout.

I predict this talented foursome is going to be even bigger in the US as time goes by and people really get to know their music. I'm excited for upcoming tour announcements, as well as when we're going to have new music of their's come out.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
