Concerning the reasoning behind the name of the band, its members have given little explanation. The band claims it was chosen at random because they thought it was amusing. The word crumpet may be unusual to some, as it is a traditional English food described in the Cambridge Dictionary as "a small, round type of bread with holes in one side that is eaten hot with butter".
Members:
Jack McEwan is the band's vocalist, main songwriter and the member credited with being the main pioneer behind the band. Born in the 1990s, he and the other band members are of the millennial generation. After the release of the band's record label, Jack is the member of the band who told the press that the idea for a record label had been around since the conception of the band, and that its creation was "only a matter of time".
Jack grew up in England, where his passion for music was kindled both by his father and through playing in bands from the age of nine onwards, before the family migrated to Australia at the age of thirteen. He also has a degree in graphic design, which he uses in creating the band’s artwork.
Luke Parish is the lead guitarist for the band. He is also a semi-professional skater, sponsored by Soggy Bones, having transitioned into the sport from surfing. He has been quoted stating that his biggest influence on the guitar is David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
Danny Caddy is the band’s drummer. He played with Jack McEwan in a band prior to the formation of the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
Luke Reynolds was the band's bass player.
Chris Young plays the guitar/keyboard for the band in the songs that require the instrument.
Peter Coyne is the band's back-up drummer. He used to be lead but after a wrist injury during his NRL season with the St. George Illawarra Dragons, he was placed into back-up.
Found God in a Tomato
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yet a functional being
I always seemed to be vacant
parading myself as an abductee
Then one day I was transposed
from a simple young man
to a godly tomato that held all existence
and told me that we should expand
and now the world always seems to revolve
around me
I'll wake up and I will always be fine
now I know
Everything will always will be easy
and the way I like
I'm grateful that I held that tomato
So he could change my life
Cause i'm different
At least I thought so.
What a triumphant occasion
to change your design
that one has left my head on a pillow on my cloud nine
I wonder how many more fruits
can connect to my head
I would take a papaya
travel the world and the universe as two best friends
and the world will always revolve
Now we're different
Time, I'm coming back with
a newfound perception
I was once lost but now I see
the beauty in every selection
I was just a person, lost and searching for meaning
But then I found God in a tomato
A divine intervention, a new beginning
In these lyrics, the artist describes a transformation where they were once a simple, vacant person parading as an abductee, but were then transposed into a godly tomato that held all existence. The tomato tells the artist that they should expand, and from then on, the world always seems to revolve around them. They wake up fine every day and everything seems easy. The artist is grateful that they held that tomato and were changed because they now know they are different.
In the second verse, the artist describes the excitement of changing their design and connecting with other fruits. They imagine taking a papaya and traveling the world and universe as best friends. The world still revolves around them, but they now have a newfound perception that allows them to see the beauty in every selection.
