We talk to Adam Slack - Guitarist for rock and roll band The Struts. Adam takes us back to his early days growing up and his love of pop music before diving down the rock and punk path after being blown away seeing his first Green Day video - something that would later come full circle when his heroes would acknowledge his songwriting in the most amazing way possible. During his journey we learn of the incredible but bumpy path The Struts would have to take on their road to success and along the way hear about record shop instores with McFly, last minute calls to support The Rolling Stones, Motley Crue's Tommy Lee trying his best to understand a Welsh accent but most of all we learn that talent, drive and the most bizarre twists of fate and chance can lead to much deserved success and a lot of fun.
