TwitterYoutubeHailing from Nashville,
Crumbsnatchers’ catchy songs echo the wit of
Pixies and
Talking Heads, backed by the fervent force of
Beastie Boys. Their contagiously immersive music has a habit of crushing your inhibitions into a fine paste and then painting the word “PARTY” on your brain with it.
Frontman
Samuel “Guetts” Guetterman pulled the band name from an experience in 2007, when, at 16 years old, he was sentenced to a year in a faith-based juvenile detention camp, in Griffin, Georgia. While enduring widespread physical abuse and abhorrent, moldy, living conditions (due to non-existent judicial oversight), Guetterman and the other boys sang in a touring church choir as examples of “reformed” rebellious teens. “Crumbsnatchers” was a condescending nickname the staff gave the boys when they sang. Secular music was contraband in the program, but a few months in, a fellow student smuggled in a CD player and a copy of
Radiohead’s
In Rainbows, which the boys listened to while hiding under their beds.
Crumbsnatchers began in Knoxville, Tennessee when Guetterman joined his songwriting prowess with guitarist
Philip Mosteller, bassist
Sam Burchfield, and drummer
Rylan Bledsoe. Tragically, Rylan Bledsoe passed away on the 6th of July, 2020. He is dearly missed by everyone who knew him. Rylan’s influence is recorded in the drums of Crumbsnatchers’ debut album
Big House.
“SAM” and “Seeping” are the first singles from Crumbsnatchers’ sophomore album
PETWAY to be released March 1, 2024 via Like You Mean It Records. Crumbsnatchers is: Guetts Guetterman (rhythm guitar, vocals), Philip Mosteller (lead guitar), Ethan Mausolf (drums), Mason Hadley (bass), and a few other amazing musicians who lend their talents.
