Shifty Shellshock, 'Crazy Town' singer, dead at 49, reports say

(WGHP) — A singer and rapper known for an early 2000s radio hit has died, Variety reports.

Seth Binzer, known professionally as “Shifty Shellshock,” died at the age of 49 on Monday. He died in his home, according to reports.

Shellshock was part of the nu-metal/rap group Crazy Town, who had a 2001 hit with the song “Butterfly” off their 1999 album “The Gift of Game.”

The band toured with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in support of their first album. The band changed line-ups and went on haitus at various points throughout the 2000s, and had been touring as recently as 2023, when a brawl outside of a Myrtle Beach venue sparked controversial.

Shellshock spent much of his life battling addiction issues.

No cause of death was readily available.
