The Stupids (band)

The Stupids are a Hardcore punk band created by Tom Withers.

Formed in Ipswich, England in the 1980s, 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, the United Kingdom, and, most recently, Japan.

The band have 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.

In 2009 The Stupids released their first studio album in 20 years, The Kids Don't Like it, on Boss Tuneage.

2011 saw the release of Japanese Vacation on Waterslide records, Boss Tuneange's sister label, to coincide with a tour of Japan. The band had to cancel their 2012 European tour because Tom broke his leg.
