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.
November
Psychedelic Porn Crumpets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all memories will fade
Like the dots on your dress
From a November day
The price that we pay
To adhere with time
Lets live as this is the life we get
I'm thankful to have met you so soon
While we are here in a random universe
Swirling, wrapped in among stars of
Light and galaxies unknown
It's so beautiful how everything
Evolves with love and grows, grows
Evolves with love and grows, grows
Take off our clothes and lets walk though
Valleys and watch the land get old
You're the aurora, the magnet on my heart
Trees making roots, fractals begin
I'm taking off, head's on the wind
A bucket of [?], hang off the tree life
Follow the water and wake from the mill
Your eyes were like galaxies
Shaping the way that I feel
Entwined with all nature creations
It's what I'm alive for
It's what I'm alive for
All is for love, is for mind
To exist in a moment
All is for love, is for mind
To exist in a moment

Slowly this head will lose it's contents
Gradually, the mental capacity will diminish
And all memories will fade
Every recollection will eventually fade with time
Like the dots on your dress
Similar to the spots on a garment
From a November day
From a specific time period
The price that we pay
A sacrifice made
To adhere with time
To comply with the passage of time
Lets live as this is the life we get
We should live life to its fullest
I'm thankful to have met you so soon
I'm grateful that we met early on
My dear, the world is our playground
My love, we have the whole world to explore
While we are here in a random universe
While we exist in a chaotic universe
Swirling, wrapped in among stars of
Spinning and surrounded by celestial bodies of
Light and galaxies unknown
Brightness and galaxies unexplored
It's so beautiful how everything
It's awe-inspiring how all things
Evolves with love and grows, grows
Develops through love and flourishes
Take off our clothes and lets walk though
Remove our garments and stroll through
Valleys and watch the land get old
Valleys and observe the terrain age
You're the aurora, the magnet on my heart
You're as captivating as auroras; you attract my heart
Trees making roots, fractals begin
Trees establishing roots, fractals materialize
I'm taking off, head's on the wind
I'm departing, my mind is unsettled
A bucket of [?], hang off the tree life
A bucket of [?], dangling off the tree of life
Follow the water and wake from the mill
Trail the water and awaken from the mill
Your eyes were like galaxies
Your gaze was similar to galaxies
Shaping the way that I feel
Influencing the sensations that I undergo
Entwined with all nature creations
Woven together with every nature formation
It's what I'm alive for
It's the reason I exist
All is for love, is for mind
Everything is for love, for consciousness
To exist in a moment
To persist in a fleeting timeframe
All is for love, is for mind
Everything is for love, for consciousness
To exist in a moment
To persist in a fleeting timeframe
