Australian heavyweights, King Parrot, have just delivered their latest single and video, “Get What Ya Given.” It comes from their forthcoming album, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot, due out on June 6. They also kick off their Australian album launch tour from May 9, with shows in Warrnambool and Bendigo. They’ve also been added to the Acid Bath show in New York on July 25 at Brooklyn Paramount before joining The Heaviest Tour of the Summer alongside Pantera and Amon Amarth all over the US.

Matt Young had this to say about the new single: “After experiencing the loss of 2 of my closest friends in 2023, the experience of grief and life hit not only me, but the entire band in a heavy way. We lost our greatest friend and ally Boyd Synnott in 2023 who had done several of our album and EP covers, countless art and merch ideas, as well as acting and helping produce our music videos. This loss crushed us, but also helped fan the fire and drive motivation to push forward with this new album. This song particularly deals with grief, loss and the pressure of everyday life that some find so suffocating. This is a homage to the friends we’ve lost, and to anyone who struggles with this shit. We are grateful to have heavy music as an outlet and channel to work through it all. We have the live shows to come together with our people, celebrate the music and blow off some steam, it’s a pretty damn good deal.”
A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot marks the band’s first new output in five years. A hostile and abrasive slab of sensory destroying anthems, the record features ten thoroughly crafted blasts through the psyche of this crazed Aussie quintet. Recorded at Melbourne’s Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton, it’s the first full-length album since 2017’s critically adored Ugly Produce offering and their first new music since 2020’s Holed Up In The Lair EP. Applying a similar approach to the writing process of their previous records, which has been historically organic and old-school, King Parrot adopted a new approach to the studio process. Pulling the new record together was a meticulously creative endeavour and the final product is the most complete, aggressive, and urgent the band has ever sounded.
