Whilst punk bands in the UK at that time still favoured the Doc Martens, studded belts and mohicans look, Stupids adopted Hardcore's more middle-class argot of sneakers, shorts and baseball hats - the look that had mutated from skateboarders into the uniform of the American Hardcore fan.

This seminal Bristol band consisted of a nucleus of Chris Galvin (bass) and David Woodward (vocals and guitars) with Bob Morris (drums) plus various others during their ten years of existence.
Through various styles they created a unique Bristol slant on the 80's which was never deemed glamorous by the press or music gliterrati in general. Some may say that the Bristol scene was insular but it was really about being yourself and getting on with things.
