History

Formation and early years (2015–2018)

The group was founded by singer Sophie Scott: at first, the only goal of the band was just to practise music with the help of amateur musician friends,[1] but in the spring of 2017[4] Scott decided to involve drummer Chris Hill, bassist Bailey Stapledon and guitarist Toby Holmes, who were three fellow students at the Guildford Music College at the time,[5][6] to "take this more seriously and be like a proper band".[1]

They later moved to Sheffield, where they started playing at gigs, mixing cover versions of Supertramp and Chris Isaak with original songs.[4] April 2018 saw the release of their first single, Monsters, followed by the Adolescence EP in October, which included the songs Bulldog, Space Girl and Waste My Air.[7]

Success (2019–present)

SATG started 2019 by playing for BBC Radio Sheffield on 12 January;[8] on 15 March, they released the new single The Light,[4] which was chosen by Codemasters for the trailer of the then-forthcoming racing game Grid.[9] The song was also used by Vodafone for advertising in Germany.[10]

In early June, Antonia Pooles replaced Stapledon.[4] Later that summer, the band played at the Reading and Leeds Festivals[11] and at Glastonbury Festival.[12][13] A new single, Break the Silence, was released in August,[4] followed by Runaway in November,[14] and in December SATG played again for BBC Radio Sheffield, this time live from Maida Vale Studios.[15]

In early 2020, SATG worked with German DJ Purple Disco Machine on the song Hypnotized, which was released on 8 April,[16] and the sound of which was heavily inspired by the italo disco music genre.[17] Hypnotized was very successful across Europe, particularly in Italy, where it was awarded three platinum records;[18] it was followed by the new single Right Now, released in February 2021.[19][18] Sophie and the Giants collaborated with Italian singer Michele Bravi on the song "Falene" with Sophie singing in Italian. The song was released on 18th June by Universal Music.[20]
