WHAT IT IS: Led by a frontman who’s drawn comparisons to Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger, the breakout U.K. band dazzles with their dynamic stage presence and infectious modernization of glam rock. Since forming in Derby, England, in 2012, the rock & roll outfit, made up of Luke Spiller (lead vocals), Adam Slack (guitar), Jed Elliott (bass) and Gethin Davies (drums), has been touring regularly throughout the U.K. and Europe, playing headline shows across the continent. They even opened for The Rolling Stones in Paris last year.
