History

edit

The band's name was pulled from frontman "Guetts" Guetterman's experience at a faith-based juvenile detention center in Georgia as a teenager.[2] "Crumbsnatchers” was a patronizing nickname the staff used to tease the touring church choir he was a part of.[3] There, secular music was prohibited, but one of Guetterman's peers smuggled in a CD player and a copy of Radiohead’s In Rainbows that the boys secretly listened to.[4]

In 2011, Crumbsnatchers formed when Guetterman returned to Knoxville, Tennessee and reunited with longtime friend and lead guitarist Philip Mosteller. Alongside bassist Sam Burchfield and drummer Rylan Bledsoe,[5] they began to work on songs together in the apartment and rehearsal space Guetterman kept above his parents’ garage.[6] The band then began working on their debut LP, Big House. The album was recorded at Knoxville's Famous London Recording Studio[7] and was self-released in 2016.[8]

Now, Crumbsnatchers resides in Nashville, Tennessee[9] and has signed to record label Like You Mean It Records.[10] On March 1, 2024, Crumbsnatchers released their sophomore album, PETWAY.[11]
