this is my first post in ages and this band is well worth writing about, this is all pretty much from wikipedia btw but its 2:30 in the morning and i cant be bothered writing. The band was originally formed in 2000. Taking influence from Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Skid Row, and Hanoi Rocks, Crashdïet built up a cult following with the release of their first demos, several of which were released on their official website via download. In 2002, the band split up, and vocalist Dave Lepard reformed the band with members from the current lineup.In 2005, the band released their debut album, Rest in Sleaze, and embarked on a Swedish tour in the fall of 2005 to support the album. The album did overally good, although they weren't that known out of Sweden. The band also played at Download Festival in the United Kingdom in 2005, to support the album.Crashdïet has released four singles from their debut album "Rest In Sleaze", including "Riot in Everyone", "Breakin' the Chainz", "Knokk 'Em Down" and "It's a Miracle".On January 20, 2006, vocalist Dave Lepard (only 25 years old) took his own life after a bout of depression which he hid from family and friends. After the death of Lepard, the band announced the following statement via their website:"We feel that we want to carry on the Crashdïet legacy, which will keep Dave's spirit alive for a long long time.. It would be a shame NOT to spread the message across the whole world and let them know what real music should sound like!"On January 22, 2007, the band announced the addition of a new vocalist, H. Olliver Twisted. They officially released their entire debut live performance with Olliver via their website for free download for their fans. Later the band also announced plans for a new album The Unattractive Revolution, and a single, "In The Raw", to be released on September 5, 2007, in Sweden.On September 20, 2007 it was rumored that Twisted had left the band. Reports claimed he had sent the rest of the band an email saying he did not wish to be a part of it any longer. These claims were later denied by the band's bassist, Peter London, and the band's record label.[1] The album was released on October 3, 2007.On February 23, 2008 the band announsed via their official website that the second single from their new album will be "Falling Rain". ok so that was all from wikipedia my godsend lol um yeah but you can check out there myspace here and ill put the debut album in download section which is def worth checking out sooo good and ill put a couple of vids one with old line up one with the new so enjoy.
