S.T.U.N., which stands for 'Scream Toward The Uprising Of Non-Conformity,' was a punk band from Los Angeles, formed in 2000. Their lyrics are idealistic, advocating for universalism, socialism, abolishing class warfare, and opposing American imperialism. These themes were set against a punk rock sound reminiscent of Rage Against the Machine. The band signed with Geffen Records in 2002.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Their first and only album, Evolution of Energy, was released on June 24, 2003.[3]
