Saint Tropez formed in London around 2008, with Ben Hamilton on vocals and guitar, Sam Farrer on drums, and Josh Kennedy handling bass and keyboards. Their debut single "One More Minute" caught on quickly that same year, giving the band an early foothold.
Their 2012 album "Euphoria" drew some criticism for its lyrics and themes, which seemed to bother certain corners of the press. The band didn't really back down from it, and they kept putting out records like "In the Dark" in 2015 and "Phoenix" in 2018.
They had a synth-tinged pop-rock sound that felt a bit different from what else was happening at the time. It wasn't for everyone, but it found its listeners.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
