Martin Sweet (born Martin Hosselton; May 5, 1979 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish guitarist most famous for being the lead guitarist for the Swedish Glam metal band Crashdïet.

Career

Sweet joined the Swedish sleaze band, Crashdïet in 2002 as their guitarist when the then-frontman, Dave Lepard decided to reform the band with new members. The band released their self-titled EP in 2003, and their first full length album, "Rest in Sleaze" in 2005. The album spawned the singles; "Riot in Everyone", "Knokk 'Em Down", "Breakin' the Chainz", and "It's a Miracle". Tragically, the bands singer, Dave Lepard was found dead January 20, 2006, he had committed suicide. The band decided to go their separate ways after Lepard's death, but later decided to carry on the Crashdïet legacy and keep Dave's spirit alive. During this time period, Martin wrote and recorded many demos (with himself on vocals), but never intended to take Dave's place. The band announced their new singer, H. Olliver Twisted on January 21, 2007 on the first Rest In Sleaze festival that's dedicated to Dave. The band released one album with Twisted as their singer, "The Unattractive Revolution". The album features the singles; "In the Raw" and "Falling Rain". Twisted was let go/left Crashdïet on July 13, 2008, and the band started searching for a replacement. Simon Cruz filled in the position of singer in 2009, after leaving his band, Jailbait. They released the album Generation Wild in 2010 which spawned the singles Generation Wild and Chemical.
