Mudcrutch was an early Tom Petty band, most of which evolved into Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. When Mudcrutch originally headed to Hollywood in search of their first record deal, the band consisted of Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Danny Roberts, Benmont Tench and Randall Marsh. They signed with “Shelter Records” and released one single in 1975. “Depot Street” was the A-side with “Wild Eyes” being the B-side. The last incarnation of Mudcrutch consisted of future Heartbreakers Benmont Tench, Mike Campbell and Tom Petty. Tom Petty’s first band, The Sundowners were renamed The Epics. Around 1970, The Epics changed their name to Mudcrutch.

In 2007 the original members of Mudcrutch reunited for the 2008 release of a new album. The disc will contain 14 old and new tracks. “We would play and then we would just talk about the old days,” says Tom Leadon, who left the band in 1972. The album will be released on April 29. The band is doing a small California tour to promote the self-titled release starting April 12.
