What people are saying about Drunk Stuntmen's latest and greatest album, State Fair:
"Though hardly revivalist, this album abounds with unpretentiousness, and
generous servings of ringing choruses, and exquisite guitar splashes with endearingly ragged harmonies.
(Drunk Stuntmen remain) true to what made them interesting in the first place- good songwriting, solid musicianship, an independent voice, and a wicked sense of humor."- Phil Rainone, Jerseybeat.com
This Spring will see the release of State Fair, the fifth studio album from veteran Northampton rockers Drunk Stuntmen. State Fair contains 11 new songs recorded and mixed by Mitch Easter (REM, Let's Active). The album is being issued via their own Drunk Stuntmen imprint. Members of Drunk Stuntmen's “virtual” fan club will have the chance to download the entire CD in advance of its street date and at a discounted price. Access to the fan club is acquired by activating the enhanced portion of previously released Drunk Stuntmen CDs which links to the upcoming album's music and artwork.
State Fair is a mature, reflective, and energetic follow up to 2005's rollicking Trailer Life. The new album is loaded with the kind of smart, catchy, guitar-driven rock that is the band's trademark. The Drunk Stuntmen's music occupies a common ground between Americana, good time rock ‘n’ roll, and improvisatory stretching-out. Drunk Stuntmen's collective influences include the likes of Neil Young, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, and Gram Parsons as well as David Bowie, The Pixies, and XTC. Over the past 15 years, Drunk Stuntmen have thoroughly cooked these ingredients up into a style uniquely their own.
Drunk Stuntmen originally formed in 1992 under the since shelved moniker “Soup.” These Massachusetts boys started off performing experimental noise-jams, more due to instrumental expertise than an active choice of genre. By 1996, they were writing cohesive country-tinged pop songs and changed their name to Drunk Stuntmen. By 1997, they had borrowed enough equipment to record a first album in their basement with indie-guru Mike Flood. Over the next ten years Drunk Stuntmen released five critically-acclaimed studio albums and a multitude of EPs.
By 2001, they’d developed into a much-demand live act playing in excess of 250 shows a year from Holland to San Francisco. They were covered in Time Magazine, had a major feature in No Depression and garnered positive press from all corners of the globe
2004 saw them joining forces with infamous octogenarian rockers the Young at Heart Chorus and delighting fans all across Europe. After the first joint tour, Stuntmen Steve Sanderson and guitarist F. Alex Johnson stayed with the Chorus as featured performers on stage and in the orchestra pit. Over the last four years this magical collaboration has performed to sell out crowds in nine countries and counting. Fox Searchlight films will be releasing a documentary titled "Young at Heart" focusing the oldsters but giving Drunk Stuntmen plenty of screen time as well.

The six songs on your page sound quite nice. Well done!
Please spread the word about how Horatio Lee Jenkins' exceptional drinking abilities allowed him to humiliate Satan. So many lives could be touched and uplifted by his fabulous story and beautiful song.
And get "Drunker Than Satan"! It is amazing!
Thank you, Deacon Frederick Leroy Elroy Smith
P.S.-Enjoy the glorious video for "Drunker Than Satan":

Hello, Stuntmen. Thank you SO much for adding me to your list of friends. I always enjoyed when you toured the circuit and would hit Scott's old hometown of Taunton, MA. I don't know what your schedule is like, and it appears you have gotten more famous over the past six years, when I heard you all went up to NH or something, but I would definitely like to watch you live again. Ever play over this side of MA anymore? I was hoping to ask Scott directly, but, alas, it looks like he's forgotten the last person he spent in-house suspension with in 1990 at THS, when he had a Misfits hair-do and wore combat boots! Hope he reads this himself, for I would love to hear of some of his adventures over the years since he left this area. Thank you everyone except Mr. Brandon. ;)
