Stupid Son

Ever since releasing their debut single 'Bread' in January 2019 to warm reception, Stupid Son have been jittering around the kitchen sink and honing in on their unique blend of melodic art  punk. Rooted in a DIY ethos, Stupid Son self-produced their 'Selected Demos' cassette in  Summer 2020, and handle all of their artwork and music videos themselves. Their music, introspective, dark, and angular, draws from a wide range of influences, including 60’s pop,  midwest emo and 90’s post-hardcore.

They've gigged voraciously in some of Dublin's best music venues, including a coveted main stage slot in Whelan's Ones to Watch, and performing at the Button Factory for John Barker's  TILT series.

Following a pandemic-induced hiatus, Stupid Son returned in Autumn 2023. Their debut EP, Comedy, recorded with Darragh Hansard in Orc's Lair Studio in June 2023, is set for release in  early 2024. Comedy is a concept EP detailing one sleepless night.  

The EP's first single, Dylan's Brain, released on October 7th. Dylan's Brain is a paranoid chapter of intrusive thoughts, split personalities and insomnia. Family Dog, single two of three, came out on November 11th. It portrays the death of a family pet and the beginnings of an existential dread. The final single from the EP, Black Mould, releases on December 15th. Black Mould is a  song about mould, and feeling like it.
