Hailing 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...Hailing from Nashville, Crumbsnatchers’ catchy songs echo the

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 to released
their debut album Big House.
Crumbsnatchers’ 2024 sophomore album, PETWAY, is available now
via Like You Mean It Records.
