My friends in the UK are probably much more familiar with The Stupids than I am. My foray into the world of punk music was almost entirely American with very limited exposure to the lesser known British artists. The Stupids had popped up on my radar, specifically because of their familiar US hardcore style combined with a distinctly British sense of humor. They were only around from 1984 to 1987 and never broke through in the States but achieved modest popularity in their homeland.

Visible Noise has decided it is necessary to remind everyone of how okay The Stupids used to be in the form of a re-issue. Van Stupid/Frankfurter is available now for purchase. To sweeten the deal, additional tracks have been included. Fans of The Stupids will consider this album a must-have. If you're not already familiar with The Stupids but are a fan of modern hardcore punk, it would be worth a pick up if only for the historical reference.
