Cover of Festive Favourite Is Single Of The Week

Her pick: Merry Xmas Everybody, the brand-new holiday release from Luke Spiller, frontman of British rock band The Struts.

Launching what she hinted could be a weekly series of festive selections, Cavazos Woloszyk expressed delight at spotlighting the singer she called her “favourite frontman.” Spiller, known for his electrifying stage presence, has unwrapped his first-ever Christmas track—a lavish reinterpretation of Slade’s 1973 glam-rock classic.

Originally penned by James Lea and Neville Holder, the song remains a cornerstone of UK holiday playlists. But rather than recreate the grit and glitter of the original, Spiller offers something strikingly new. According to Cavazos Woloszyk, he “transforms it into a beautiful melodic rock piece” enriched with lush orchestral arrangements, soaring instrumentation, and his unmistakable vocals. The result, she said, carries a warm, cinematic quality with a hint of the emotional resonance found in John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

The track is produced by John Levine, whose layered and thoughtful production gives the song what Cavazos Woloszyk described as “a brand-new” feel for fans while still honouring Slade’s festive spirit.

Spiller’s seasonal offering arrives amid a wave of momentum. He recently completed three sold-out shows in Los Angeles, followed by an intimate, fully booked performance at the Grammy Museum earlier this week—further cementing his reputation as a dynamic and evolving artist.

Fans can now view the official Merry Xmas Everybody music video on YouTube and keep up with tour announcements, merchandise, and new music at thestruts.com, with Cavazos Woloszyk encouraging listeners to follow Spiller across his social platforms.
