Biting synthesizer parts, expertly composed guitar riffs, and unique compositional elements elevate their music to the status of other popular psychedelia artists such as Tame Impala and All Them Witches. A great Australian and a German band on the same night.
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets (AU)
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets is a psych-rock band formed in 2014 in Perth, Australia. The band consists of singer-guitarist Jack McEwan, guitarist Luke Parish, drummer Danny Caddy, bassist Luke Reynolds (until 2020), and keyboardist Chris Young. Their music is a drug-induced grunge rock trip: biting synthesizer parts, expertly composed guitar riffs, and unique compositional elements elevate their music to the status of other popular psychedelia artists such as Tame Impala and All Them Witches. Their latest release, Night Gnomes, is as vast and trippy as their others, and is a musical journey you'll want to take again and again. In 2020, Bassist Luke Reynolds left the group. He was replaced by Wayan Biliondana in 2022.
Their latest and seventh full-length album, Carpe Diem, Moonman, was released on May 15th, 2025. The record took shape while touring, and it's every bit as energetic, chaotic, and psychedelic as we've come to expect from the band.
Spiral Drive (AU)
Since bursting onto the neo‐psych scene with their 2019 debut album Unity, SPIRAL DRIVE, the visionary project of German‐Austrian multi‐instrumentalist and music producer Raphaël Neikes, has evolved into one of Europe’s most dynamic and boundary‐pushing psychedelic acts. Their second full‐length, Visions in Bloom (2022), anchored by the multi‐million‐streamed single “Space Train”, cemented their reputation. The album fuses psychedelic rock, alternative, psych‐pop, grunge, and indie into a dazzling, cohesive whole, earning comparisons to reknown artists like Tame Impala, King Gizzard, Queensofthe StoneAge, MGMT,
and even Pink Floyd, yet existing defiantly outside any one genre.
