Stump were an Anglo-Irish indie/experimental/rock group featuring Mick Lynch (vocals), Kev Hopper (bass), Rob McKahey (drums) and Chris Salmon (guitar) formed in London in 1983.

Their first release was a four track EP Mud on a Colon released in 1986 through the Ron Johnson record label. This was followed by a self released mini album Quirk Out produced by Hugh Jones which included their cult hit Buffalo. Buffalo also appeared on NME's influential C86 compilation. Continuous UK touring, regular coverage in the UK music press - including cover features in both the NME and Melody Maker, and a memorable performance of 'Tupperware Stripper' on Channel 4's The Tube ensured that Quirk Out stayed in the UK Indie Charts for 26 weeks, peaking at number 2[1]. Sessions for the John Peel radio show recorded during this time were released as a Peel Sessions album on Strange Fruit Records in 1987. Following these successes the band were signed to Ensign Records.

An album A Fierce Pancake released in 1988 was recorded in Berlin and London produced by Holger Hiller with assistance from Stephen Street. Three singles were released from this album Chaos, Charlton Heston and a re-released Buffalo. The album did not bring the crossover success the label had hoped for and the band split before any new material was released.

Stump's persistent and growing cult following has recently prompted the release of their only CD A Fierce Pancake on iTunes. It has been long out of print and it is difficult to get a copy.

A 3 CD set containing Mud on a Colon, Quirk Out and A Fierce Pancake is to be released by Sanctuary Records.
