Stuyedeyed
Irrepressible, loud, direct, fuzzed out — Stuyedeyed are an unhinged skull rattling atop a spine, snapping to intensity and directing your attention to our reality, right now.
Originating in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, Stuyedeyed [STĪ - died] cultivate an unfettered attitude in their music to embolden the disenfranchised to challenge the status quo.
These songs speak to the experiences of singer and songwriter Nelson Antonio Hernandez-Espinal and are brought to life with bassist Humberto Genão, drummer Luis Ruelas, and guitarist George Ramirez.
Broadcasting a riotous energy to the important dialogues of our time in a tumultuous yet carefully articulated sonic wave that emanates resilience. Stuyedeyed depicts the experiences of being young Latinxs in a “New York-for-some” bubble. With rhythm, aggression, conviction, and cut teeth, they slash through a thick curtain of anxiety and depravity with urgency.
Their newest EP, Moments of Terribleness, captures notions of self-identity and assimilation in a targeted, experimental explosion. These songs deconstruct what is “Cool” and memorialize our vanity in an era of individualism.
