The Stupids (band)

The Stupids are a skate punk thrash band created by Tom Withers.

Career

Formed in Ipswich, England in the 1980s,^[1] The Stupids recorded three sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in the 1980s, and toured the United States (with Ludichrist) and Australia (the Hard-Ons) as well as Europe and the United Kingdom. The primary Stupids' releases are:

Violent Nun 7" EP on Children of The Revolution records (COR)
Peruvian Vacation album on COR
Retard Picnic album on COR
Van Stupid mini album on Vinyl Solution Records (VS)
Frankfurter Eat 10" EP on VS
Jesus Meets The Stupids album on VS
"Feel the Suck" (single) (2008) on Boss Tuneage
"The Kids Don't Like it" (album) (2009) on Boss Tuneage

In addition to the above, the band have since featured on various CD re-issues, compilation albums (e.g. Sounds and the U.S. skate magazine, Thrasher), collector's singles and BBC session releases released by Strange Fruit.

A live video tape, Drive-In Hit Movie, was released shortly after the band broke up in 1989.

In June 2008, Boss Tuneage released a comprehensive reissues series of the Stupids, co-ordinating six CD and LP reissues of their entire back catalogue; four for release on the Boss Tuneage Retro Series imprint, the other two on Visible Noise.
