Crashdiet Celebrates 20 Years Of 'Rest In Sleaze'

My beloved Swedish glammers Crashdiet will celebrate 20 years of their debut Rest In Sleaze in September. For those lucky enough to see this show, let me say I am so jealous. Rest In Sleaze remains one of my favorite glam albums of all time. It is definitely the best release of the glam-rebirth era.

If you don't have this debut on regular rotation - you should. I need it on vinyl.

Another Crashdiet Member Change

This poor band. Crashdiet has just undergone yet another member change at the singer position. Gabriel Keyes has left the band and has been replaced by John Elliot.

The most important thing here is that Peter London and Michael Sweet remain the core of the band. The band has some European shows coming in the next few months and also perform on the Monsters of Rock Cruise next month.

Crashdiet - 'Better Be Cool' -- New Song

This is kind of a nice surprise. My beloved Swedish rockers Crashdiet just released a new song called "Better Be Cool." The song was actually recorded a couple years ago. It didn't fit on any previous albums and so here we are. Hopefully this activity means more good things are coming from the band.

Glam Slam 2023 Festival Lineup Announced - And It Is Awesome

Ok now here's a festival I would love to attend! The Glam Slam Festival will take place September 8, 9 and 10 in Vorselaar, Belgium. Check out this lineup! It includes Crashdiet, Mike Tramp's White Lion, The Cruel Intentions, Crazy Lixx and so many more. I'm so jealous of the folks that get to go to this one. It's what I always hoped M3 Rock Festival would evolve into... but probably not enough known bands for an American audience.

Early bird tickets are on sale now - click through the post below for more details.

What A Glam Fest! HRH Sleaze Bands Announced

Crashdiet Release New Song and Video

Crashdiet just released a video for their new song "Powerline" and it features Michael Starr of Steel Panther. Honestly, the track is better than anything Steel Panther has done in the past couple of years.

"Powerline" is on the upcoming Crashdiet album Automation. This is the first time Crashdiet has welcomed an outside singer on vocal duties.

That new album is available for pre-order now.

The New Crashdiet Single Is A Banger

Crashdiet just released a new song called "Together Whatever." The band gives credit where it is due - and the video uses clips of all singers past and present, including Dave Lepard who we lost in 2006. The song is on the upcoming album Automation. It comes out April 29 and I am very excited for it - and can't wait to add the new songs to my collection. The song is a party anthem and the track reminds us it is okay to have fun, even while remembering the past that might be a little bittersweet.
