Stupid Babies

The Stupid Babies was an English children punk band formed in 1979 featuring 11 year old Adam Tinley who would grow up to be Adamski a decade later, and his 5 year old brother Dominic. The band's only release came from a compilation album called Earcom 3, which featured the tracks "Babysitters and "Babyblues" on the Fast Product indie label.

As a youngster, influenced by punk rock and John Peel, Adam formed his first band The Stupid Babies when he was 11 and living in New Forest in England. Persuaded by his 5 year-old brother Dominic, they sent a demo tape to the indie label Fast Product Records, run by The Human League's manager Bob Last. "Everyone thought that was a really precocious and strange thing for an 11 year-old to do," Adamski recalls "but I just thought that's what everybody did". The kiddie-punk tracks were released on a sampler. When alternative BBC Radio One DJ John Peel started playing their song "Babysitters" the band caused quite a stir, receiving positive write-ups in music mags like "Smash Hits" and "Melody Maker".
