Video, PR and design
for bands.
Stoutcore started as the in-house production team for Uragh. We shoot music videos, run press campaigns, and design the artwork. Now we do the same for other bands.

What we
make.
Pick one thing or the full release. We scope every project individually. No packages, no templates.
Music videos
Concept, shoot, edit, colour. We write treatments with you, shoot on RED or BMPCC 6K, and deliver a finished master.
Press & PR
We pitch your releases to blogs, zines, playlists and radio, and follow up until it lands. We know the people who cover independent metal because we release music too.
Social & campaigns
Release rollouts, teaser edits, and posts that sound like your band. We plan the whole campaign, from announcement through release week and after.
Artwork & branding
Single covers, album art, merch, logos, stage backdrops. One visual language across every format so a shirt, a Spotify canvas, and a poster all feel like the same band.
Live video & photo
Multi-cam gig recordings, playthroughs, tour content, and photos you can actually use for promo. Turn a show into a month of assets.
Stoutcore Promos
Our own platform for sending pre-release music to press, radio and playlist curators. Personal streaming links, no downloads, no leaks, built-in analytics. A self-hosted alternative to Haulix.

Who we are.
Stoutcore is the production team behind Uragh, a Dublin modern metal band. We needed music videos, artwork, press and a live show that looked as good as it sounded, so we built all of it ourselves instead of paying someone else to guess at it.
Along the way we picked up the tools — cameras, colour, Ableton for edits, InDesign for print, a working phonebook of press and radio contacts. Same people, same gear, now available to other bands.
We're musicians. We know what a release cycle looks like from the inside, what press deadlines matter, and what a fair budget is for a video that doesn't embarrass anyone. If that sounds useful, get in touch.
What we actually do.
Most projects start with a conversation, a rough idea, and a budget. From there we work out what makes sense.
A typical release cycle for a band we work with involves some or all of: a single or two of press photos, a music video, cover art, a press release and pitch, social edits for the rollout, and pre-release streaming links for reviewers through Stoutcore Promos.
You don't have to take the whole thing. Bands usually come to us for one piece and we go from there.
Say hello.
Tell us about your band, what you're making, and roughly when you need it. If you're not sure yet, just say hello and we'll take it from there.
