You've got the Cork '80s part right, most amazing band ever.
See Kev Hopper's page for details.

they appeared on NME's C86 - 'Buffalo'.
A Fierce Pancake is a deadly album.

from organ:.....
STUMP? Ah yes, back there when band’s really pushing at the edge were a rare thing in this country, an unexpected video of Cardiacs on the Tube, an accidental bite of Blurt on John Peel’s show, people trading rumours about this band or that, rumours of bands who dared to step outside the box, back there there was a much loved band called STUMP. It has just been brought to out attention that a STUMP retrospective three CD box set collection is on the way. And back in the days when you could almost believe the NME, someone over there said “The spirit of Pere Ubu and Captain Beefheart wildly over this…but Stump don’t dabble lightly, theirs is a genuine attempt to shape a new language from out of the mouths of old mavericks” - Listen the likes of THE YOUNG KNIVES and FUTUREHEADS, and you are listening to the evolution of the sound created by bands like STUMP twenty years ago. The band’s recorded works have been unavailable for a rather long time so fans will delight in the news of the release of The Complete Anthology, a 3-CD set that will be available in June 2008 – go explore the world of Stump and post-Stump over at www.spoombung.co.uk

Don't forget Kev Hopper - who still produces delicious skewed stuff - if you follow from his myspace to his web page - loads of free tracks - the pool song is particularly great!!

Prescott - 'One Did' – cd/dd
Released April 28th 2014 - Slowfoot Records
Stream:
Prescott is the brainchild of former Stump bassist, Kev Hopper. Hopper’s distinctive bass style was one of the most striking elements of Stump’s sound during the 1980s; since then he has produced numerous solo albums and more experimental work with the laptop quartet, Ticklish – but the all-instrumental Prescott signals a halt to Hopper’s, abstract, atmospheric electronica and a return to working with a full band.
In Prescott, he is joined by two formidable musicians. On keys is Rhodri Marsden, Scritti Politti member and indie veteran who worked on Kev’s 2001 album “Saurus”; on drums is Frank Byng [Snorkel, Crackle], a dynamic, prodigious musician who also runs Prescott’s label, Slowfoot. Frank’s groovy, funky, explosive drums, Rhodri’s precise keyboard work and Kev’s characteristic bass playing meet all the Prescott objectives: jabbing heteroclite riffs, circular rhythmic patterns, vibrating harmonic clashes, irregular note intervals, all contrasted with pockets of beautiful melody.
The band’s minimal approach has occasionally caused puzzlement at gigs when their strategy of ‘micro-riffing’ is deployed: playing a tiny portion of a track without variation for as long as they can hold their nerve. In an age where loops are commonplace it’s rare to find a band imitate a machine in a live context. “Play it till it feels uncomfortable”, Hopper has told the band. “Our time is different from the audience’s time”. Why would a band want to do that in the first place, you may ask? Well, it’s partly for fun, and partly as a tribute to the band’s namesake, the former honourable Member of Parliament for Hull East, known for his unintelligible conference speeches and bruising, bullish manner
Funky beats and discordant riffs? Simple themes played a semitone apart? There are plenty of art-rock precedents; Palais Schaumberg, Can, Soft Machine and The Residents to name but a few. Prescott serve up their own, discrete take on the genre with their first recording, 'One Did'.
