BAND HQ // [CXT]FORMED 1995 • Hollywood, Los Angeles, CA • Skate-Punk & Thrash

CRAZY TOWN

Sunset Strip tattoo culture, West Coast boom-bap, DJ AM's live Technics 1200 scratch routines, and heavy Hollywood crossover guitar hooks.

Founded in Hollywood, Los Angeles in 1995 by vocalists Seth 'Shifty Shellshock' Binzer and Bret 'Epic' Mazur (initially as the Brimstone Sluggers) before expanding into a full seven-piece live rock-and-turntablist band featuring DJ AM (Adam Goldstein), Rust Epique, Antonio 'Trouble' Valli, Doug 'Faydoe Deelay' Miller, and James 'JBJ' Bradley Jr. Their 1999 Columbia debut 'The Gift of Game' ('Toxic', 'Darkside', and the global #1 hit 'Butterfly') and 2002 Howard Benson-produced follow-up 'Darkhorse' ('Drowning') bridged L.A. skate-punk energy with hip-hop turntablism.
