What do you get when you combine Napoleon Dynamite-style dance moves with a genre-bending soundbed and three glorious oddballs from Sydney’s Northern Beaches who set out to soundtrack 2020? Stump’s uplifting single and video for ‘I’ve Had Enough’.
‘I’ve Had Enough’ acknowledges the year that is but is really about “cheating negativity and embracing whatever fun you can scramble together.”
Bassist Merrick Powell said, “2020 has been full of challenges, and this song is a bit of an emotional dump about how the pressure can take its toll. We wanted to contrast that with a sense of positivity, so we tried bringing that side to life in the production and video.”

The video arrives in tandem with the announcement of Stumps’ debut album All Our Friends, out Friday 4 December on Cooking Vinyl Australia.
“I wouldn’t deny it’s a privilege to live in an area as idyllic as the Northern Beaches, but that coastal charm can be deceiving, and masks this dark underbelly of some serious societal issues,” explains vocalist Kyle Fisher. “It’s this bleak contrast that inspired a lot of the lyrical content, particularly on songs like ‘I’ve Had Enough’.”
