This is fine.
We caught up with self-described yacht punks, St. Tropez this week to catch up with the band before they make their way over to the US for SXSW. You hopefully know the routine by now…we give them questions, they give us answers. We also include the latest single from their Debate EP. Read more
When this song first came on, I thought St. Tropez were going to take us in the direction of mundane indie rock. But, fast forward down the line and the group’s totally in it to trick you. They spin the song into a bratty riot of good times, dreaming of life “in St. Tropez.” It’s one of those tracks that surprises you, giving you a quick in the ass once the chorus takes hold of you. They’ll be releasing their debut album this August, but for now they’re just going to keep teasing you with a bunch of rad songs.

I have no idea what to really say about this single from St. Tropez, other than you’re going to love it…I hope. There’s this fuzzy riffage that opens the track, then sticks around to sort of propel the song forward energetically. But, in the vocals, there’s something, like a cross between BRMC and Brit-pop…maybe just a darkly tinged bit of indifference. The Dutch outfit got some love in the studio from Spring King, so you know people are taking note of their work already. This latest single just indicates that we’ve got more good things coming…hopefully more new tunes in 2016.
