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.

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.
