The Stupids (band)

Formed in Ipswich, England in the mid 1980s,[1] The Stupids released four albums and six EPs, and recorded three sessions for John Peel's BBC Radio 1 show in the 1980s,[2] and toured the United States (with Ludichrist) and Australia (the Hard-Ons) as well as Europe, the United Kingdom, and, most recently, Japan.

The Stupids were featured in the 22 August 1987 edition of the NME about the band and the UK skate scene, and also made the front page.

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

[7] 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.

2011 saw the release of Japanese Vacation on Waterslide Records, Boss Tuneage's sister label, to coincide with a tour of Japan.
