Equally Stupid is an Icelandic/Finnish/American trio that blends raw energy, intricate rhythmic layers, and fearless improvisation into a sound that is both intense and melodic. The band began as a duo with Sigurdur Rögnvaldsson and Pauli Lyytinen in 2008, later evolving into a trio and gaining a reputation for its explosive live performances and genre-defying compositions.
Their critically acclaimed albums Exploding Head (2014) and Escape From The Unhappy Society (2017) showcased a fusion of jazz, rock, and experimental music, earning praise for their daring interplay and expressive sound. In 2025, Equally Stupid returned with Shadows, a bold new single released on January 24 via Eclipse Music. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter, with another single set to drop in the summer, leading up to the release of their highly third album in the autumn.phones & live-electronics
