Crazy Town's frontmen Seth 'Shifty Shellshock' Binzer and Bret 'Epic' Mazur joined forces in the mid-1990s but it would be five long years until their efforts would bear any fruit.
After meeting each other through Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am in Los Angeles, the pair – who were then known as The Brimstone Sluggers – had a work ethic that could be best described as laid back, if anything. But in amongst the partying and stomach crunches, the band eventually scored a record deal with Columbia and began work on their 1999 debut, The Gift of Game.
