Slightly Stoopid

About

Slightly Stoopid isn't just a band; it's a lifestyle, a sun-drenched soundtrack for the perpetually chill. Emerging from San Diego in the mid-90s, this collective forged a sound as eclectic as their influences, weaving together reggae rhythms, punk rock energy, and a healthy dose of hip-hop swagger. What began as a skate-punk project quickly morphed into something far more complex, guided by the dual vocal attack and songwriting of Miles Doughty and Kyle McDonald. Their musical tapestry blends the laid-back vibes of Sublime with the gritty urgency of Bad Brains, all while embracing the improvisational spirit of jam bands. Signed early on by Sublime's Miguel Happoldt, Slightly Stoopid bypassed the traditional major label route, opting instead for an independent path that fostered their fiercely loyal fanbase. Albums like "Everything You Need" and "Chronchitis" cemented their place as festival mainstays, showcasing their knack for crafting catchy hooks and conscious lyrics. Collaborations with artists like G. Love and Don Carlos further broadened their sonic horizons. Never ones to rest on their laurels, Slightly Stoopid continues to tour relentlessly and release new music, remaining a vital force in the modern reggae-rock landscape. Their recent endeavors include consistent touring and maintaining a strong connection with their dedicated fans.
