Tuk says of the experience, \u201cIt was really cool to write with\u00a0<strong>Butch Walker<\/strong>, something I\u2019ve always wanted to do. In Atlanta, he is a hometown hero and a really big inspiration to me so to be able to write with him was really special. I\u2019m super stoked the song turned out so good. You never know what\u2019s gonna happen, we had really good chemistry and it was a lot of fun&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Tuk\u2019s musical roots run deep. Growing up as an outsider in rural Georgia, he found solace in hardcore\/punk acts like Black Flag and The Exploited. From there, Smith branched out into exploring seventies New York bands like The Dead Boys and New York Dolls, which lead him across the sea where he embraced first-wave British acts like The Buzzcocks and the Clash. Smith wasn\u2019t just a casual fan of these acts, he was obsessed with them and traced their lineage with fervent dedication. \u201cI was always into the Clash growing up and Mick Jones\u2019 favorite band was Mott The Hoople, so through the years I ended up developing a love of the first wave of british glam, power pop and things like that,\u201d he explains. Soon Smith was forming his own acts, toured relentlessly and building a DIY following with his high-energy live shows.<\/p>\n<p><em>Looking for Love, Ready for War\u00a0<\/em>is an album that has been a long time in the making and due to be released in 2021. It is the culmination of Smith\u2019s already impressive career in music and showcases the versatility of his songwriting. His love of rock, punk, and glam come together into a unique amalgam that is at once fresh and new and also harkens back to music that is missing from today\u2019s musical landscape. In many ways, it\u2019s a musical homecoming for Smith that shows that though he\u2019s covered with battle scars from perfecting his craft, he\u2019s come out on the other side with an amazing collection of songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the third single taken from the forthcoming album &#8216;Looking For Love, Ready For War&#8217;,\u00a0which is set for release in 2021.\u00a0Same Old You\u00a0was produced by the legendary\u00a0Rob Cavallo\u00a0(Green Day, My Chemical Romance) and co-written with Atlanta-based writer\/producer\u00a0Butch Walker\u00a0(Green Day, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, Pink, Taylor Swift), it is a fun and upbeat rock and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13661,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[4385,71,2964,3407,1331,5898,4876,5117,4877,3457,1133],"class_list":["post-13660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-better-noise-music","tag-butch-walker","tag-duff-press","tag-fall-out-boy","tag-green-day","tag-my-chemical-romance","tag-pink","tag-rob-cavallo","tag-taylor-swift","tag-tuk-smith","tag-weezer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13660","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=13660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13662,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13660\/revisions\/13662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/13661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=13660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=13660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=13660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
