Crash Pad is a punk rock and roll band from Gainesville, Florida. Crash Pad was founded and began playing shows in Spring 1996. Crash Pad consists of Brian Krashpad on vocals and guitar, Ronnie Dazombie on bass and vocals, Billy Butcher on drums and vocals, and Mitch Estic on guitar and vocals.
Crash Pad has been described by local newspaper the Gainesville Sun as "Gainesville's long-running, hard-working, old-school punks." ("Sound Check" column, Pat Hughes, 9/17/99.) The editor of local alternative newspaper Moon Magazine, writing for the website GNV.yourvillage.com in June 2000, described Crash Pad as "Melodic and raw, through various line up changes Crash Pad has been a mainstay of local music," ("Crash Pad Performs Tonight," Colin Whitworth, 6/12/00), and Detours magazine (part of the Alligator student newspaper) agrees on the "mainstay" description. (Fall Music Showcase to Get Eclectic this Weekend," Sekhmet, 10/5/00). The G-Note webpage, in 1999, called Crash Pad "one of Gainesville's only punk bands." Local entertainment magazine Chomp says "Crash Pad brings back the punk flavor Gainesville is missing" and ,"definitely recommend[s]" checking out Crash Pad (October 1999 Local Scene column), and Rock 104's Brian Walker says "Crash Pad... are Gainesville's long-time, famous punksters." (Rock 104 Concert Series Locals Only E-mail, 3/3/01). Maximum RockNRoll zine called Crash Pad "solidly rocking" with a "heavy on the guitars punk sound, and... vocals [that] are mostly snotty with a healthy dose of angry thrown in." (July 2002, Erin Yanke)
In 2000 Crash Pad won the Hogtown Music Award for Best Punk Band, and in 2001 was named to the Alligator's "Hot 20" list of Gainesvilles' Best Bands. In 2003 Crash Pad appeared on the Home Van charity compilation CD on Signalpath Records featuring Gainesville's best bands. Crash Pad's members have been in other local punk and underground rock bands, including Allen Wrench, Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, Hoyt and the HotHeads, Dynamite Charade, Freelance Butcher, and Led Astray.

Hi there Crash Pad first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!

Hello, My name is Ken, on myspace most of you know me as "MADDAUG." My team and I are trying to construct a site for all amateur bands and musicians of all genre's. I cannot go to far into detail as it is still under construction, all I can tell you is that we are designing it around the concept of anyone can succeed if they try hard enough and we want a lot of fan and band interaction. Fan's and band's alike may join, and if the bands are doing well enough we would be willing to invest in producing their CD. For now, I ask merely for support, please copy and paste this into a bulletin and send it to all your friends as "A new company." . Then I ask please add me as a friend so we can keep you posted on all the events at our new company. Thank you for your time, Sincerely, Ken REPOST THIS AS "A new company" PLEASE
