Seth Brooks Binzer, better known by his stage name Shifty Shellshock is an American music artist, best known for being a co-founder and front man of the band Crazy Town. He has also had a solo music career and appeared in the reality television series Celebrity Rehab 1 & 2 and Sober House 1 & 2.
A native to California, Binzer was a music fan from his childhood. His father is award-winning art director, designer, artist and filmmaker, Rollin Binzer who, among other things, produced and directed the feature film, Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones.
Seth had a love for a wide genre of bands, such as The Cure, Cypress Hill, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, and Jon Cougar Concentration Camp. He began to discover his own personal style of music and started to record albums of his own with the Beastie Boys serving as his main inspiration.
He also spent part of his childhood in Marblehead, Massachusetts.
Binzer met fellow Crazy Town front-man, Bret Mazur, in 1992; they started collaborating under the name The Brimstone Sluggers. By early 1999, they formed the group Crazy Town. In 2000 Crazy Town was signed to tour with Ozzfest, however they were forced to withdraw after only two weeks when Binzer was arrested after he threw a chair through a window while he was drunk.
The band's single, Butterfly, reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, prompting sales of their debut album, The Gift of Game, to exceed 1.5 million.
Their 2002 follow-up album, Darkhorse, was a commercial failure by comparison, and the band broke up shortly after its release.
In 2010, Binzer fronted the group, Shifty and The Big Shots. They released their first single, "Save Me", on July 6, 2010, and followed it up with the single "City of Angels".
