STEREO CUPID

Stereo Cupid make music for the people who live their lives between last orders and first light. Known for explosive live shows and a cult following that grows by word of mouth, Stereo Cupid have become one of the UK’s most unpredictable, unignorable new guitar acts.

With the release of their debut EP A Series Of Curious Incidents That Occurred After Midnight, they step into a wider spotlight without losing any of their grit. Channeling modern indie sleaze revivalism and classic British rock excess, the EP plays like a night out in real time. Across six tracks, Stereo Cupid turn nocturnal chaos into something cinematic: the number you shouldn’t have taken, the door you kicked open, the kiss in the rain, the argument, the text you regret, the 4am confession, the night bus silence that feels like the whole world is yours.

This is an EP about the version of England that never makes the postcards: the skint, romantic, reckless, neon-lit underbelly of growing up in a city that bruises you and blesses you in the same breath. Stereo Cupid bottle those feelings and turn them into something that feels bigger than the night itself.

Their aesthetic – lo-fi visuals, DIY culture, vintage rock iconography, youthful hedonism – is slowly building an iconic world. It’s no surprise that they have built such a loyal following, as it seems that people join Stereo Cupid rather than just listen to their music. They revive that old-school glam-rock unbotheredness, that sense of danger and glamour that makes guitar music feel alive again.

This debut sounds like a promise from a band determined to make London’s music scene louder and messier. It’s a tribute to the beautiful wreckage of youth.
