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.

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.

Amy Katt
Amy Katt is centred around long time collaborators Amy Katt and Sam Hargraves. After the dissolution of a previous project, Sam and Amy made the decision to start a new and focus on music that was initially solely designed to satiate their own creative hungers and desires. Stepping away from the normal 4 or 5 piece band paradigm this allowed the pair to keep their ideas focused and true to an overall creative vision. Having bonded over a love of heavy metal, emo and rock bands, all these influences got threw into the grinder and spat back out as something entirely new and their own. Their writing process is an entirely collaborative one, with either Sam or Amy bringing in lyrics, a melody or chord progression and building the track up piece by piece.
Stout Talk
Stout Talk wear their hearts (and art work) on their sleeves with the release of their debut single ‘Afraid of the Sea’. A three and a half minute slice of indie rock perfection, littered with more hooks than the fishing boats that navigate the wide open waters they use as metaphor in the track.
Forty Foot
‘Miles Away’ finds Forty Foot exploring a wider sonic template than on previously releases, slowing the tempo and allowing layers of guitars, effect pedals and synths to create a dreamy base for Sam’s emotionally heavy vocals. The longing of the song is punctuated in the production of the track, with a conscious decision to create space between the vocals and music, giving air and breath to the track. Mark Dillion’s guitar tones are awash in reverb and chorus adding to the hazy, dream like quality of the track, while Anthony Ross’s drums and Keith Ennis’s bass add the pulse and drive to the track keeping it grounded amongst the spacey-shoegaze elements of the track.
Porridge
Porridge is an electronic producer from Kildare. He is set to release the next single "In The Box" off his new album "You Don't Belong Here". This track is a follow up from his previous release “A Glitch In The System” In The Box is an electro house track inspired by dystopian and Sci-Fi themes, drawing from an Orwellian style future where everyday life is held captive by our machines. Inspired by acts such as Deadmau5, Daniel Avery and Rezz, Porridge blends a unique mix of industrial electro and house. Porridge certainly offers something fresh and exciting to the Irish electronic scene. With an full length album and several remixes from Irish acts like Zapho, Dead Label, Jack Rua, Viscose & Restive Nation. Porridge certainly cemented himself as a powerhouse producer
