Sweden's glam metal pioneers are back!
CRASHDÏET has gone through turbulence several times in their career, with deaths, line-up changes, and a history of abuse but they have become known for picking up the pieces and returning to the scene every time they crash. Their undeniable flirt with the 80s big arena rock bands like Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, and Skid Row combined with a notable element of punk, has made them a significant name in the revival of the sleaze and glam (or hair metal) genre. CRASHDÏET released their critically acclaimed debut album “Rest in Sleaze” in the fall of 2005 through Universal Music, giving them a spring of success in their home country. But shortly after, in January of 2006, their frontman Dave Lepard, was found dead in his home after committing suicide. The surviving members have carried the torch ever since, recruiting new singers, touring the world, and releasing six studio albums for their widespread fans.
The band has collaborated with superstars such as Mick Mars from Mötley Crüe and Michael Starr from Steel Panther.
CRASHDÏET is on the road again with a solid new line-up, still holding original members Peter London and Martin Sweet. Maybe not as decadent as in the early days, but always bringing on a high-octane live show that few will forget! New music is vowed to be delivered next year!
Line-up :
John Elliot - Lead Vocals
Martin Sweet - Guitar
Peter London - Bass
Michael Sweet - Drums
