About this user
Ocean Beach, CA's Slightly Stoopid, who are already coasting into their second decade of Reggae & Rock n' roll at the ages of 26 - 27 years-old, released their fifth album, Closer to the Sun, on April 19. Fusing acoustic rock and blues with reggae, hip-hop, and punk, Slightly Stoopid have cemented a signature sound and created a legion of die-hard fans in the process . The band, whose D.I.Y. nature has seen them thumb their nose at more than a few major label record deals over the course of their career, will release Closer to the Sun on their own imprint, Stoopid Records/Caliplates Recordings in conjunction with Reincarnate Records. As Miles Doughty, one of the group's two front men explains, �It's all about the grass roots style � you've got to tough it out, got to get your hands dirty touring and making music. We have 100% creative control of what we do, and we've worked way too hard to have other people telling us how to do it. It's working, so we don't feel we need to change.�
