Crashdiet To Release 'The Savage Playground' Next Month

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the release of CRASHDIET’s anticipated new studio album “The Savage Playground” on January 25th in Europe (excl. Scandinavia) and January 22nd in North America.

A leading force in the Swedish "sleaze rock" scene of the 2000s — a revival of the glam metal of the 1980s, but with a more pronounced punk element — CRASHDÏET for the first time manage to release their brand of down and dirty Rock and Roll simultaneously all over the world.

In April of 2010 the band’s third album "Generation Wild" pretty much summed up the extraordinary but yet tragic history of a band, determined to never give up their dream. CRASHDÏET has become known as a band with a huge following of diehard fans, and the massive interest for them never seems to fade.

There has been extensive touring during the course of “Generation Wild” and the absolute highlight saw the band conquer Hollywood and New York City with sold out shows at Whisky A Go Go and Webster Hall. The band also supported their heroes Motley Crue and Ozzy Osbourne. “Supporting Motley Crue in Helsinki and headlining Whisky A Go Go have been the highlights of the Generation Wild tour”, says guitarist Martin Sweet.

With the new studio album “The Savage Playground” recorded during summer/autumn 2012 in native Sweden, the band has their minds set to break through on a world-wide basis with a tour that will see the band going back to the US as well as going to Japan for the first time. “We will put a lot of effort into the US for our new tour. We will start in Scandinavia in February, Then we head to the US & Canada. Coming back end of April to do UK and then Europe and Japan will follow with Festivals in the summer and then South-America to kick off in the autumn” continues Sweet.

The new album sees CRASHDÏET going in a heavier and more live direction musicwise. “THE SAVAGE PLAYGROUND is our playground, its the beginning and the end, its the place where we eat and breed”, tells Martin Sweet. “We thought the time was right for us to do a edgier and not so polished sounding album, kinda like what we sound like live. It's more organic and rough sounding. And of course we're always evolving as musicians and like to try new ways of expressing ourselves, and that can most definitely be heard this album.”

Anticipated by the release of the cracking first single “Cocaine Cowboys” on December 12^th, “The Savage Playground” will include the following tracks: Change The World; Cocaine Cowboys; Anarchy; California; Lickin’ Dog; Circus; Sin City; Got A Reason; Drinkin’ Without You; Snakes In Paradise; Damaged Kid; Excited; Garden Of Babylon.

Crashdiet was one of the coolest shows I saw in 2012. Can't wait for them to hit The States again.

Here are a couple samples of the new stuff:

The single is out now on Amazon. I just bought it. Got my copy of the cd pre-ordered. Hopefully its worth it!

These guys deserve to be HUGE! Mike! Just picked up the AWESOME new single, "Cocaine Cowboys" on the new and improved (?) iTunes! AND I will also get the CD when it hits.

AND... here's another "Cocaine Cowboy" (sans the "s" at the end) by one of the legendary unsigned bands of the early 90's L.A. Strip scene, K.K. Wilde. By the way, their album of the same title sells for over $1000 on Ebay -- that is if it's ever up for auction. I've only seen 1 in the last 5 years!...

Crashdiet will play a few dates in the USA early in 2013. It isn't going to be many shows so you may have to travel a bit to see them. They can't stay in The States for long because one of the members has to be home it time to get married.

Should be a great show if you are lucky enough to see it.
