It's been awhile since I've posted but I thought you guys might like this. In certain angles, he looks like Freddie, obviously early days. The other videos of him (w/ sunglasses) look exactly like him. Had to stop my car on the side of the road when I heard this guy belting on the radio. But if the record companies are trying to get a new Freddie type, they are doing well with this guy.
He looks like Tim Curry.
What a fucking disaster that type of band is. I bet they all met in Camden but actually live in their parents homes in Surrey. Just get an office job in your dad's company lads.
LOL, his voice makes me remember Marc Martel when he is singing some of his own stuff (Paradise, for example). Not bad! Gotta listen more than 1 song. =P

no they don't live with their parents, and the band were originally from the East Midlands. and they're not a disaster - it's quite a nice change from all the shit on the radio
there's a look about him that is hybrid Freddie/Hutchence/Tyler
but the sound - musically and vocally is not - except for the over-pronunciation of the letter "R"
the album comes right out of My Chemical Romance - Black Parade era
East Midlands makes perfect sense then.
Do you mean The Darkness / The Feeling retro soft rock dressed up as something more than it actually is? Probably to draw in 'real' music fans. Hopeless band.
Queen's mentioned a couple of times in this video by them: link
But in the first video posted on this thread, it's clear he's trying to act / look like Freddie.
Sort of Queenish in look, and he overdrives his voice like a kind of 80s Freddie, but he doesn't really sound like Freddie.
I don't think the band is that good, but then very few bands are that good. It's like a Taylor Swift song wrapped up in an electric guitar and drum kit.

Love The Struts and their new(ish) album. The lead singer's (Luke Spiller's) stage costumes were also designed by Zandra Rhodes who designed a lot of Freddie Mercury's and Brian May's stage costumes.
