CRASHDIET: 'Reborn In Sleaze' Tribute Album In The Works

January 21, 2010

Street Symphonies Records has begun to work on "Reborn In Sleaze: A Tribute To Dave Lepard". Ten of sleaze rock's hottest bands will contribute to a special re-recording of CRASHDIET's "Rest In Sleaze" LP to pay tribute to singer David Hellman (a.k.a. Dave Lepard),who committed suicide in January 2006 at the age of 25. The album will feature exclusive recordings by PEEP SHOW, JOHNNY BURNING, SEX SLAVES and KILLER KLOWN. More bands will be announced soon. The tribute album will be released sometime in 2010.

Street Symphonies Records is the only Italian record label dedicated exclusively to glam/sleaze/hard rock.

CRASHDIET has set "Generation Wild" as the title of its third album, due late March via Gain Records. The 10-song CD was helmed by RamPac, the production and songwriting team formed by Johan Ramström and Patrik Magnusson, in Gröndal, Sweden and was mixed by Tobias Lindell. The title track will hit Swedish radio stations later this month. Other songtitles set to appear on the album include "Native Nature", "Chemical", "Rebel" and "Down With The Dust".

CRASHDIET last year announced the addition of Simon "Simme" Cruz from the Stockholm act JAILBAIT as the group's new lead singer.

The band parted ways with its last vocalist, the Finland-based H. Olliver Twisted, in July 2008.
