We were playing with The Used and Chevelle and a lot of bands I love. I didn’t know what people were going to think, it’s been so long. Shifty: When we went out there, we were like, let’s just go and kind of get a vibe of what’s going on. How well did Europe welcome Crazytown back after your little time off? Toddstar: This whole thing came about, you did a tour in Europe last year and it seemed to go well. I drive around, I’m like wait, ‘we got to put one more on there.’ Brett and I are trying to finish a couple more. Shifty: The album is ready to go, give or take one or two songs. The name is as of right now it’s the Brimstone Sluggers. Toddstar: You talk about the new album, the forth coming album. I think it’s a good mixture of everything. I think all the different influences we have are, they come across pretty cool in this record. You see that more when you hear the album. I mean, I like to think we’ve grown, it’s been a long time. Shifty: I think we definitely went back to our roots, but at the same time guitar tones and melodies. What’s your take on this versus the catalog from Crazytown. Toddstar: With the song, a lot of people are making comparisons sonically and sound-like back to The Gift of Game, but to me, this sounds a lot more mature. I think it’s, you know, I guess you could say it’s about new beginnings. I think we just captured the energy on that one. Shifty: “Megatron” is just … It’s about us finally being in a place where we can do what we love again and having a great time. I mean Crazytown is back and back with the single “Megatron.” What can you tell us about the single, man?
Toddstar: Hey, man, thank you so much taking time out for us today.
We were able to grab a few minutes with him to talk all about the new project and what’s next for Crazytown… Having released a couple albums and then fading from the spotlight, Bret Mazur and Seth Binzer [Shift} are back at it with a new energy, a killer new tune “Megatron,” and an album ready to go… sort of. If you were near a radio or MTV in the early 90’s, you know who Shifty Shellshock is – you may not know the name or the face immediately, but when you hear the opening notes to “Butterfly” from Crazytown, you know the song.
