Seth Binzer founded Crazy Town in 1995 with Bret “Epic” Mazur.
The rap rock group was launched in Los Angeles, but ended up playing and entertaining countless fans around the world.
However, it took years before they achieved true success. The gift of the game was their debut album and it was their third single, “Butterfly,” that catapulted them to fame.
Crazy Town Helped Define an Era
“Butterfly” is truly a product of its time. This is not an insult (or even a compliment), but just the truth.
The song (and particularly its chorus) truly embodied the early 2000s in ways that are hard to articulate.
I’ve seen Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton Someone has to give in? “Butterfly” plays during the film’s opening sequence.

Crazy Town didn’t stop there.
The rap rock band released their second album in 2002.
However Dark horse didn’t reach the same heights as their last batch of songs, it shows that they didn’t simply achieve a hit.

What happened to Crazy Town after that?
Not long after Dark horseCrazy Town broke up. It appears their album’s failure to live up to expectations — after their first sold 1.6 million times — contributed to their split.
They later reformed and in 2015 released their third album The Brimstone Fighters.
In 2017, however, Mazur left the band once and for all. Singer Seth Binzer renamed the group Crazy Town X.

Obviously, fans all over the world are getting nostalgic for “Butterfly” and the legacy of Crazy Town with this news.
But obviously Seth Binzer was a real person, with loved ones who were mourning who he was, not a 2000s anthem.
We hope the coroner can provide the answers he needs.
