Stuart Pearce

Stuart Pearce is the driving force behind the scrappy DIY punk project Goodbye Blue Monday, blending jangly post-punk energy with sardonic political commentary. Operating out of the UK’s underground scene, Pearce’s music crackles with wiry guitars, shout-along choruses, and lyrics that skewer capitalism, workplace drudgery, and modern alienation—tracks like "The Bosses Are Stealing Your Days!" and "Nuclear Football" feel like protest anthems for disillusioned millennials. Their recent releases, including the gleefully defiant "Fuck No, I Jangle" and the anxious "Mono No Aware (evil:backwards)," showcase a knack for wrapping existential dread in danceable, lo-fi garage-rock chaos.

With song titles that read like Situationist slogans and a sound nodding to both The Fall and early Orange Juice, Pearce’s work thrives on urgency and dark humor. Whether dissecting late-stage capitalism’s absurdities on "All This Vast Overproduction" or channeling post-punk nihilism through "Beat Sensation," Goodbye Blue Monday remains a rallying cry for anyone craving catharsis through messy, meaningful noise.
