Crashdiet is perhaps one of the most exciting new glam bands to come out of Sweden in the last decade. Formed by vocalist Dave Lepard in 2000, and blessed with good looks, a real songwriting ability and musical talent, they guys have been poised to take over the world. Unfortunately, despite their sucess and popularity, Lepard committed suicide in 2006.
However, even after such a tragic turn of events, Crashdiet's remaining members- guitarist Martin Sweet, bassist Peter London, and stick man Eric Young-recovered with a second singer, Olliver Twisted, and the group released a strong second CD in 2007 and embarked on a tour. Unfortunately Olli hasn't been able to make a long-term commitment to the band, so Crashdiet is currently searching for a 3rd, permanent singer.
We all have good faith that they will come back, bigger than ever!
