Singer Shifty Shellshock (real name: Seth Brooks Binzer) has been detained for DUI, according to TMZ, while California rap-rock band Crazy Town has been dropped off (hed)p.e.’s “Nu-Metal Madness 2″ U.S. tour as a result of fights inside the band.
The incident specifically happened on Tuesday, April 25, at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Following the band’s performance at the Boathouse Waterway Bar & Grill in Myrtle Beach two days earlier (on April 23), Shellshock and current co-vocalist Bobby Reeves got into a fight. ThePRP claims that the confrontation started because Shellshock skipped the gig, leaving Reeves in charge and expressing his rage at Shifty during the performance. I’m trying my best,” along with a disagreement over money.
Later, Crazy Town was taken off of (hed)p.e.’s tour.
As Consequence also notes, Shellshock was arrested on April 25 after “police received a call about a possible drunk driver in a black SUV who seemed to be falling asleep at the wheel.” Consequence also obtained the official police report (prepared by Officer C.J. Contino), which reads:
Consequence also mentions that Shellshock’s corresponding mugshot “describes [his] blood-alcohol level and status as ‘less than .10, second offense.’”
Unfortunately, NME clarifies, Shellshock has a history of substance abuse problems and assault violations. For instance, he was arrested – and later released – for a DUI in Los Angeles back in July 2022. Ten years earlier, he was “convicted of cocaine possession and domestic violence charges against his girlfriend.”
Of course, his battles with addiction have been showcased on TV shows such as Celebrity Rehab and Sober House, too.
