The Picturebooks are a German blues-rock duo from Gütersloh, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Fynn Claus Grabke and drummer Philipp Mirtschink. Formed in 2009, they built their reputation on a raw, stripped-down sound that blends garage rock, blues and punk. Both members are avid skateboarders and motorcycle builders, and that DIY spirit runs through everything they do - from custom-built instruments to self-released records. Their fifth album, Albuquerque, came out in September 2024.
In September 2024, The Picturebooks released their fifth studio album titled Albuquerque, recorded on Gibson guitars.
In April 2024, The Picturebooks became part of the Gibson Artist Spotlight program, which promotes bands on the brand's global channels.
In 2024, the band served as the opening act on The Pretenders' European tour - a total of 19 joint performances.
In December 2025, The Picturebooks performed the final concert of their 2025 tour at Forum Bielefeld.
In May 2026, The Picturebooks will perform at the Morborock XV festival in Morbegno, Italy.
