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.

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, was released on February 29th, 2024.

Comedy is a concept EP detailing one sleepless night, and has been preceded by three blistering singles each month at the end of 2023.

2024 sees Stupid Son go from strength to strength with a busy start to the year; performing at Whelan's Ones to Watch, a headline show that filled Workman's main room, and a live session in Manchester with BBC Radio 6 on January 9th.
