Irish rock icons THE STUNNING have been experiencing a powerful resurgence with their
first new single in 8 years, selling out multiple headline shows in Ireland, and reaching a
new global audience thanks to the viral rediscovery of their classic hit “Brewing Up a
Storm”, mainly due to its inclusion in the Netflix drama series House of Guinness.
Formed in Galway in 1987 by brothers Steve and Joe Wall, The Stunning became one of
Ireland’s most acclaimed and best-loved bands. From the beginning they carved out a
distinctive sound — a vibrant mix of rock’n’roll energy, twangy guitars and touches of alt
country-soul-rock — that resonated with audiences across the country. Their commitment
to great songwriting and electrifying live performances quickly set them apart.
Their debut album, Paradise in the Picturehouse (1990), reached No. 1 in the charts at and
stayed there for five weeks. Songs from the release such as Romeo’s on Fire, Half Past Two
and the enduring anthem Brewing Up a Storm remain staples of Irish music culture.
A new wave of international recognition arrived in 2025 when Brewing Up a Storm featured
prominently in the hit Netflix series House of Guinness. Already regarded by many as an
alternative Irish anthem — often used at Irish international rugby and football games — the
song exploded into global consciousness. Thirty-six years after its release, it surged to No.
5 on the Shazam UK Viral Chart and reached No. 15 in its UK Top 200 as listeners around the
world discovered the band for the first time
