History.
The band rose to fame with its single "Je fume pu d’shit" in 2003. After having released their two first albums on BMG, the label decided to stop their contract in 2006 after the poor sales of "Stup Religion". After a hiatus, the band then began auto-producing themselves, releasing "The Hypnoflip Invasion" in 2011. 
For their fourth album, "Stup Virus", Stupeflip began soliciting financial support on the crowdfunding platform Ulule. The crowdfunding campaign was a huge success, with the original stretch goal of 40 000€ being raised in just two hours. The campaign ended with a total of 427 972€, making it the biggest crowdfunding effort for a band in Europe. "Stup Virus" was released on 3 March 2017.
