Alicia Silverstone may have been the bigger star in the relationship, but Christopher Jarecki was also known around the LA punk-rock scene in the early aughts. Going by Christiane J, Jarecki formed the band S.T.U.N, which stands for Scream Towards the Uprising of Nonconformity, according to a 2003 MTV report. S.T.U.N. drew on the political rebellion of bands like Rage Against the Machine, with lyrics that criticized American imperialism and promoted socialist thoughts.
Those themes were present from the moment S.T.U.N.'s first single came out, shaped by Jarecki's interest in the work of Noam Chomsky and Daniel Quinn. "'Annihilation of the Generations' is about people not paying attention to how many people have it worse off than them in the world," Jarecki told MTV. Jarecki's band was signed by Geffen Records in 2002, allowing them to release their debut album in 2003, AllMusic noted. Soon enough, the band was opening for powerhouses of the genre, including Jane's Addiction and The Used, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Despite a promising start, S.T.U.N never produced a second album. But Jarecki continued to work as a musician, later founding the group The Bathroom Murders and hosting a music radio show on GTFU, "A Musical Journey with Christopher Jarecki," according to The U.S. Sun. Like his former partner, Jarecki is also a lifelong vegan and passionate about animal rights, W noted. Jarecki even dabbled in acting, snagging tiny roles in "Me & Will" (1999) and alongside Silverstone in "Vamp" (2012).
