About Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Hailing from Perth, Australia, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have carved a formidable reputation as purveyors of gloriously unhinged psychedelic rock. Since their inception, they’ve been relentlessly pushing the boundaries of heavy, fuzz-laden sonics, blending infectious grooves with an almost bewildering level of instrumental virtuosity. Their music is a kaleidoscopic tapestry woven from influences spanning classic 70s psychedelic rock, garage punk’s raw aggression, and the expansive explorations of modern psych-doom.

The band – comprising the powerhouse quartet of Jack McEwan (vocals, guitar), Luke O’Malley (guitar), Danny Nelissen (bass), and Daniel J. Peterson (drums) – have a knack for crafting sprawling epics that can shift from delicate, atmospheric passages to ferocious, guitar-shredding assaults in the blink of an eye.

And Now For Something Completely Different (2019) saw them further refine their sound, while Shy, Brown, Loud, and Proud (2020) cemented their status as a force to be reckoned with. Their latest offering, Brompton Cross (2023), sees them exploring new sonic territories, delivering a more polished yet equally potent brand of their signature psychedelic mayhem. Notable tracks that have ignited stages and captivated fans worldwide include the anthemic “Our Orca” with its soaring guitar solos, the blistering intensity of “Glitter,” the expansive journey of “Mundungus,” and the downright infectious energy of “Neptune.” Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are not just a band; they are an experience, a sonic adventure that demands to be witnessed live.
