Introducing Mudcrutch
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
Have you heard of Mudcrutch? Did you know they’re coming back? Unless you’re a die-hard Tom Petty fan you probably don’t know who they were, are, or that they were around before. You see, prior to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers making it big back in the late 70’s, Tom was in another band…Mudcrutch, alongside future Heartbreaker guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench. Petty sang and played bass, while the rest of the line-up was filled out by guitarist Tom Leadon and drummer Randall Marsh. The band released one single before calling it quits. A few songs appeared on the 1995 boxset “Playback” and the rest, as they say, is history. Until now.
Tuesday April 29th will see the release of the debut album from Mudcrutch. Petty and his former bandmates went into the studio last August to record an album of new and old tunes. We started spinning the new tune “Scare Easy” today, which sounds like these guys have been playing together for years.
Keep your ears open for it, and use the band’s name for today’s bonus code.
