Automne 2002, le hardcore chaotique entame une vie posthume à mesure que les grands des années 90 nous quittent. Dans le sud de la France, à Sète, STUNTMAN concrétise l'histoire musicale de chacun de ses quatre musiciens, prend le relai d'un son supposé enterré. Noise, hardcore, metal. Kiss It Goodbye, Botch, Rorschach, Breach, Jesuit ou Siege, autant de références affirmés, d'influences respectées, d'histoires personnelles à combiner, retravailler et exploiter pour créer Stuntman. Depuis près de douze années, malgré de nombreuses modifications de line-up, Stuntman continue à évoluer, à faire de sa hargne, de son énergie, un tremplin pour chacune de ses productions - deux albums, un EP, deux splits, une douzaine de compilations. Près de 150 concerts plus tard, 5 tournées européennes comprises, des dates avec Coalesce, Genghis Tron, Mumakil, Kongh ou encore Jucifer, The Target Parade figure le renouveau. Nous étions en 2011, l'étape des dix ans approche, Stuntman s'est définitivement solidifié. Aujourd'hui, 2014 approche, le temps de gestation d'"Incorporate The Excess" prend fin, Stuntman revit, encore.
