Our Origin Story
In the heart of Los Angeles, 2022, Krushkill Records was born from a real friendship and shared mission. Mark White, who became Crazy Town’s final guitarist and Seth Binzer’s business partner, connected with Seth “Shifty Shellshock” Binzer over a mutual hunger to discover new voices and keep Crazy Town’s raw energy alive.
Together they founded Krushkill to sign hungry artists and push bold new music. On February 14, 2024 they released the label’s first project — the explosive 3-track EP Flirting With Disaster, featuring “Cake,” “Trigger Happy,” and “99 Bottles.”
Just four months later, on June 24, 2024, Seth was taken from us at age 49 by an accidental overdose. We miss him every day. His fight, his creativity, and his spirit didn’t leave — they became the fuel.
Today Krushkill Records carries that fire forward: signing real talent, dropping heavy music, and honoring Shifty by never playing it safe.
Krushkill Records. Born from brotherhood. Driven by legacy. Full throttle.

Rest in Power
Seth “Shifty Shellshock” Binzer August 23, 1974 – June 24, 2024
Seth Binzer, Shifty Shellshock, was more than a frontman. He was the raw, unfiltered heartbeat of Crazy Town, the voice that made “Butterfly” an anthem for a generation, and a brother to everyone in the nu-metal underground.
KrushKill Records exists because of the fire Seth lit. His spirit runs through every beat, every distorted riff and every scream on every record we press. From the streets of LA to the red clay of North Carolina, his legacy does not fade. It burns louder.
“One of the most magnetic, misunderstood and unforgettable voices of the nu-metal era.”From our tribute, What Happened to Shifty Shellshock

Nu-Metal FAQ
What happened to Shifty Shellshock?
Seth "Shifty Shellshock" Binzer, the voice of Crazy Town, died on June 24, 2024 at a residence in Los Angeles County. He was 49. Beyond the hits, Seth was a co-founder of KrushKill Records alongside guitarist Mark White — the label he built to keep signing hungry artists and pushing raw music. His full story is here: What Happened to Shifty Shellshock?
Who sang "Butterfly"?
Seth "Shifty Shellshock" Binzer sang the hook on Crazy Town's "Butterfly," trading verses with co-founder Bret "Epic" Mazur. It's the song that made "come my lady, come come my lady" an inescapable piece of Y2K culture.
Did "Butterfly" hit number one?
Yes. Released as the third single from The Gift of Game in October 2000, "Butterfly" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two non-consecutive weeks across March and April 2001.
What song does Crazy Town's "Butterfly" sample?
"Butterfly" is built on a loop from "Pretty Little Ditty" — an instrumental deep cut from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 1989 album Mother's Milk. The four-bar figure is a brief flash in the original but becomes the entire spine of "Butterfly." Because of it, Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Chad Smith and John Frusciante are all credited as writers on a No. 1 rap-rock single.
How did Crazy Town start?
Seth Binzer and Bret Mazur met in 1992 and first made music together as The Brimstone Sluggers. By 1999 the name had changed to Crazy Town, and debut album The Gift of Game landed that November.
How many albums did Crazy Town release?
Three studio albums: The Gift of Game (1999), Darkhorse (2002) — after which Binzer and Mazur parted ways — and The Brimstone Sluggers (2015), following the band's 2007 reformation.
Who was in the final Crazy Town lineup?
The final lineup was Seth Binzer (Shifty Shellshock, vocals), Mark White (guitar), Rick Dixon (DJ Rick One), and Sean Heenan (drums). Mark White went on to co-found KrushKill Records with Seth — which is why the only official Crazy Town merch and music still being produced comes from this label.
What is CrazyTownX?
CrazyTownX (CXT) is the final chapter of the band — the name Seth and Mark released under through KrushKill Records. It carries the original Crazy Town sound forward with modern intensity. See the artist page.
What was Crazy Town's last release?
The Flirting with Disaster EP, recorded as CrazyTownX and released February 14, 2024 through KrushKill Records. Featuring "Trigger Happy," "Cake" and "99 Bottles," it's the last music Shifty ever recorded — and it's still available on limited-edition CD.
Where can I buy official Crazy Town and Shifty Shellshock merch?
Only from KrushKill Records — the label Seth co-founded. That includes the RIP Shifty Shellshock Memorial Tee, the CXT Los Angeles Skyline tee, and the limited Flirting With Disaster CD. Everything is small-batch and official — no print-on-demand bootlegs, and every order funds the next pressing.
What is nu-metal?
Nu-metal fuses downtuned metal riffs with hip-hop rhythm, turntables and raw, confessional vocals. Born in the mid-'90s through Korn, Deftones and Limp Bizkit, it went mainstream by 2000 — and Crazy Town's "Butterfly" is one of the few rap-rock tracks ever to top the Hot 100.
Is nu-metal making a comeback?
It already has. Korn, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, System of a Down and Deftones are headlining arenas and festivals again, while Gen Z keeps pulling the catalog back through short-form video. We cover it every week — read the dispatch.
What is KrushKill Records?
An independent nu-metal and rap-rock label founded in Los Angeles in 2022 by Crazy Town's final guitarist Mark White and Seth "Shifty Shellshock" Binzer. KrushKill releases official Crazy Town / CrazyTownX music, Heathen Sun, limited CDs and merch — and keeps signing hungry artists. Krush the static. Kill the silence.
