Meet Your Guide

Hi, I’m Jed Elliott.

I play bass in The Struts. Over the last 15 years, I’ve toured the world, shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and The Killers—and made just about every mistake a band can make along the way.

Don’t Start A Band isn’t a warning.

It’s a challenge.

If you’re going to start a band, do it right.

These packs are everything I wish we had when we were coming up.

If you’re serious about building something that lasts—I’ve got you.

Without a real plan, most bands…

  • Burn out before their big break

  • Miss out on game-changing opportunities

  • End up resenting the band they used to love

  • Get stuck in the same cycles—rehearse, release, stall, repeat

  • Watch other artists pass them by

With the DSAB packs, your band will:

  • Make smarter, more confident career decisions

  • Strengthen songwriting, performance, and strategy

  • Handle conflict without blowing up

  • Learn how to actually market like a band

  • Build momentum that doesn’t depend on luck

  • Feel like a real team—not just a group sharing a setlist

  • Connect more deeply with your fans, your vision, and each other

  • Grow faster—without losing who you are

This is how you build a band that lasts.

Being an artist means facing challenges you’re not prepared for. ‘DSAB’ is a kind friend to help you out with those challenges - I love it!
