Sweden’s CRASHDÏET are pioneers of glam and sleaze metal, a band forged through turbulence, tragedy, and sheer determination. With a career marked by line-up changes, personal losses, and highs and lows on the global stage, they have consistently risen from the ashes — true survivors of the rock scene.and zero compromises.
Their sound is a fearless collision of 80s arena rock swagger — think Guns N’ Roses, Kiss, and Skid Row — infused with a raw punk attitude, solidifying their role in the revival of sleaze and hair metal. Their debut album, Rest in Sleaze (2005, Universal Music), earned critical acclaim and launched their career in Sweden. After the heartbreaking loss of frontman Dave Lepard in 2006, the remaining members kept the flame alive, recruiting new vocalists, touring worldwide, and delivering six more studio albums to their dedicated fanbase.
Over the years, CRASHDÏET have collaborated with rock icons including Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe) and Michael Starr (Steel Panther), cementing their place in the glam metal pantheon.
Today, CRASHDÏET hits the stage with a solid line-up, anchored by original member Martin Sweet, promising high-octane performances that honor their legacy while pushing the band into exciting new territory. While Peter London is taking a longer break from the band, Chris Young has stepped in on bass for this album cycle, embracing the challenging role with energy and dedication. Fresh music is on the horizon, with fans set to experience the same signature attitude and intensity that has defined CRASHDÏET from day one.
