About Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Hailing from Perth, Australia, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have rapidly ascended the ranks to become one of the most talked-about and exhilarating forces in modern psychedelic rock. Formed in 2014, the band – comprising Jack McEwan (vocals, guitar), Luke Pilon (guitar), Danny Nelmes (bass), and Daniel Hunt (drums) – wasted no time in forging a reputation for their electrifying live performances and a sound that is both ferociously intense and beautifully intricate. Their music is a potent cocktail of swirling fuzzed-out guitars, propulsive drumming, and psychedelic textures that draw inspiration from the golden age of 60s and 70s rock while firmly planting their flag in the 21st century.

Their debut album, Loud Feed, released in 2016, immediately showcased their unhinged energy and knack for crafting infectious, albeit chaotic, anthems. However, it was with their subsequent releases that they truly began to cement their status. 2019’s High Visceral, Pt. 1 and High Visceral, Pt. 2 propelled them onto the international stage, with tracks like the pulsating “Cubensis Lensation” and the driving “Mundungus” becoming fan favourites and critical darlings. Their sound evolved, becoming more refined yet no less potent, with each album pushing their sonic palette further. The lauded 2022 album, Shit Witch, saw them delve even deeper into expansive soundscapes and complex song structures, solidifying their reputation as masters of controlled sonic chaos. Notable hits that have defined their career include the anthemic “Glitter,” the sprawling epic “Kāpōhō,” and the relentlessly groovy “Our Beez.” Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are not merely musicians; they are sonic architects, building towering walls of sound that are both exhilarating and deeply immersive, a testament to their relentless creativity and undeniable stage presence.
