Backstory:
The story of Stupid Wine started in the heart of Manchester, England. Childhood friends Jake Turner (lead vocals), Leah Drummond (bass guitar), and Harry Moore (drums) spent their high school days making music in Moore’s basement. They were all driven by the same dream, to stand out from the traditionally rock-centred scene of their city. They decided to blend genres, drawing inspiration from both their love of rock, pop and R&B.
In 2015, they were discovered in a local music festival by a record producer who was captivated by their unique sound. They found success with their first album circulating in indie music circles. Stupid Wine became a name that was whispered, then shouted, across the music scene. Their journey has been nothing less than a roller coaster ride, with every high and low strengthening their bond and shaping their music.

Pop-Rock with R&B influences
Title:
“Bottle of Promises”
Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] She’s sitting on a barstool, [Em] under the neon light,
[C] Sipping on her sorrow, [D] in the middle of the night.
[G] She’s got a bottle of promises, [Em] that never seem to stay,
[C] Just like the ones you made, [D] before you walked away.
(Chorus)
[G] Stupid Wine, [Em] you made her lose her mind,
[C] She thought you’d be different, [D] but you’re all the same kind.
[G] Stupid Wine, [Em] you’re just a pretty lie,
[C] She falls for you every time, [D] and you make her cry.
(Verse 2)
[G] She’s dancing with the memories, [Em] trying to forget the pain,
[C] But every sip she takes, [D] brings her back again.
[G] She’s lost in the music, [Em] and the warmth of your touch,
[C] But the morning will reveal, [D] it was never much.
(Chorus)
[G] Stupid Wine, [Em] you’re just a sweet disguise,
[C] Making her believe in love, [D] and your sugar-coated lies.
[G] Stupid Wine, [Em] you never sympathize,
[C] Leaving her in the darkness, [D] under the morning skies.

Testimonial:
“Sophie here! Just wanted to say that Stupid Wine is not just my favorite band because of their music, but also because of their authenticity. Their lyrics speak to my experiences and emotions. ‘Bottle of Promises’ perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being let down again and again but still finding the strength to keep going. They don’t just create music; they create companionship through their tunes. And that’s why Stupid Wine will always be my favorite band.”
