Praise for
PSYCHEDELIC PORN CRUMPETS
“While the world’s been getting itself ready to fully embrace PPC, this band’s been quietly (or not, if you’ve seen ‘em play) getting to the peak of their powers as players and songwriters. Tell you what, now that our collective eyes and ears are open to this band, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are ready to make it count.”
Triple J Unearthed, Dave Ruby Howe (‘Bill’s Mandolin’, 2019)
“Their latest single ‘Bill’s Mandolin’ an example of why they’re in such hot demand, with their brand of wailing guitars, heavy rhythms, and off-the-wall lyricism hitting all the right notes with fans around the world.” Life Without Andy
“Shredding guitar riffs meet trippy musical dream sequences and it doesn’t slow down for a single second”. Ticketmaster (‘Bill’s Mandolin’, 2019)
“Bill’s Mandolin’ kicks you in the face from the get-go and you will beg for more as this sound explosion takes for a lap around the room at sonic speed.”
Savage Thrills (‘Bill’s Mandolin’, 2019)
“Bill’s Mandolin is a sprawling slap of psychedelia, trudging guitars, and screeching vocals; the Porn Crumpets have continued their undefeated run of singles.”
Stack Magazine (‘Bill’s Mandolin’, 2019)

May is proving to be a heady month for Perth’s Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, as the release of their new album – And Now For The Whatchamacallit – coincides with their global tour dates, currently taking the band through Europe, the UK, Australia and North America. The album, a culmination of experiences lived on the road and influences stemming from the last few years of chaos for the band, is finally unveiled in all its glory – a testament to the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ never relenting vivacious attitude and hungry approach to powerful music.
Fans received a kicking indicator of what their new album had in store with the infectious single, ‘Bill’s Mandolin’, a fitting continuation of pace from previous singles ‘Keen For Kick Ons’,‘Social Candy’ and fan release ‘My Friend’s A Liquid’, yet the broader scope of And Now For The Whatchamacallit is representative of a dynamic band flourishing as their control over the creative direction continues to strengthen and diversify sonically. Already receiving airplay and commendations from BBC Radio 1 and Triple J, the music Psychedelic Porn Crumpets prescribe for a good time is a medicine that can’t be passed up.

Recorded between frontman Jack McEwan’s bedroom and Perth’s Tone City Studios, …Whatchamacallit has developed an enticing and engaging blend of guitars and fuzzed out melodies, as well as an urgency in McEwan’s lyrics that makes Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ musical execution one all their own.
“The original concept was to take a 1930’s carnival that had been re-imagined for future generations, a collage of Punch and Judy, Carousels and coconut shy’s that progresses in musical concepts and travels with the listener. Then as we started traveling I was swept off into my own kind of circus, the odyssey of touring life. Large nights out, larger characters, drunken recollections of foreign cities and rabbit hole-ing into insanity (kindly illustrated by Quentin Blake)”. Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
A Sgt. Peppers-esque chaos rears its head in the jaunting nature of ‘Bill’s Mandolin’, while the calmer, hazed out end of the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets’ spectrum is realised beautifully on ‘Native Tongue’ and ‘Digital Hunger’. The latter, acting as a masterful blend of sounds and rich psych textures, ‘Native Tongue’ is an anchoring track of ‘…Whatchamacallit’; an album cut that represents the essentials of a band in a great creative space.

As Album Number Three, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets marks a brand new chapter as a band. Free of any sophomore album pressures or the need to make an industry splash, the group have instead explored the sounds that have formed a mature and exciting musical output. The energy captured on the album mirrors that of the band’s live presence; one that has been well received and praised throughout Australia, the United States, Europe and the UK. Bolstering the strength of the music with a special vinyl release, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are releasing a limited edition red and white vinyl edition of the album for Australia and New Zealand fans, available for pre-order now!

Currently in the middle of a 29-date world tour that includes a headline tour of the UK and Europe, British, European festival dates, German shows supporting Interpol and Japan’s lauded Summersonic Festival, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets are in the perfect position to bring …Whatchamacallit to thousands of new ears.The foundation work was laid early, with the band having sold out tours through the UK and Australia, and making an impressive debut with American audiences this year, clocking fourteen shows around their SXSW run. Following on from their signing with Marathon Artists (global territories) and Caroline Australia (domestic), Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have been ensuring that the moves they have been taking forward haven’t been steps, but strides.
June sees the band return home to tour some of their biggest venues yet, capping things off with a rambunctious live debut at Splendour in the Grass, followed by their just announced 27 date North American tour and another tour of the UK & Europe with a rollicking 19 dates . Their schedule may be extensive and daunting, but nothing compares to the shows that are accompanying the release of And Now For The Whatchamacallit.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets have levelled up for Album #3, 2019 best make sure it’s ready for what is still to come.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
