All members of the band had previously played in the band Automatik Slim.^[4] Tom Petty took an interest in the band and gave them the keys to his home studio, offering a listening ear and advice on whatever they were working on. They spent countless hours in his studio, working both on their own and with Petty. Both Jové and Simpson have credit on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’s 2014 album Hypnotic Eye^[5] and on Mudcrutch's 2016 album 2.

The band released their eponymous debut album on June 10, 2016 via Warner Bros. Records. Their second album, Jupiter Sidecar was released on September 20, 2019. Tom Petty (who died in 2017) acted as a sounding board for many of the tracks when they were in their demo stages, including "Strange", "Waiting for Life to Begin", and "Can't Go Home".
