Psych-Rock Wizards on a Roll.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are one of the most exciting forces in modern rock. Formed in Perth in 2014, their blend of frantic psychedelic riffs and whimsical charm has established them as one of the best psych-rock groups in the world right now.

Their sound channels the spirit of classic ‘60s-’70s psychedelic rock from Led Zeppelin to Black Sabbath to The Beatles, but turbocharges the nostalgia with chunky modern adrenaline and multi-layered guitar harmonies. There’s no down-tuned seven strings or machine-gun double bass drums, instead citing Monty Python and The Might Boosh as key influences on their style and humour. The band’s instrumental skill is top-notch with scorching riffs, powerful drumming, and swirling basslines with as many psychedelic breakdowns and dizzying tempo shifts as there are catchy earworms and danceable grooves.

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have entered a prolific hot streak, and are about to deliver their second full-length album of 2025. Their most recent release Carpe Diem, Moonman was an inspired punch of explosive euphoria, one of the standout rock albums of the year, but rather than being spent from such a success, they seem to be creatively invigorated and back for more in just a few short months!

You guys seem to have rejected a lot of modern developments in rock. Is this a conscious rejection or are you just not drawn to down-tuned guitars and cavernous breakdowns?

Beyond the world famous bands and TV shows we’ve already mentioned, what are some weirder, or more local influences that formed your sound?

Can you talk about the visual aspect of your videos and album artwork?

Your music is extremely complex, but remains super catchy and melodic too. Is that difficult to balance when writing songs, and do you road test material much before laying it down on an album?

What do you want the audience to go away from a Psychedelic Porn Crumpets show feeling?

Do you feel like you guys are part of a broader scene or revival, or do you feel like you simply exist in your own lane?

How do you stay healthy and sane enough to remain friends and keep up such a great creative output whilst maintaining such a heavy touring schedule?
