Australia’s KING PARROT is pleased to unleash their video for “Get What Ya Given.” Now playing at Decibel Magazine, the track comes by way of the band’s forthcoming new full-length, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot, set for release on June 6th via Housecore Records in North America.


“Get What Ya Given” shows the band at their most raw and vicious, delving deeply into grindcore and powerviolence influences all while delivering it with the trademark KING PARROT approach.



Comments vocalist Matt Young, “After experiencing the loss of two 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 and 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.”



Adds Decibel, "Sadly, our fine feathered friend, Waldo, is no longer with us, but we’re quite sure that he would have lost his shit (as he was prone to do after squawking 'Bombs away!') over the latest single, 'Get What Ya Given,' from Aussie grind fiends, KING PARROT. Hell, we lost our shit after a viewing this two minute performance video for a track that is an im-peck-able demonstration of the kind of grindcore that can only originate from a former penal colony. It’s ugly, dirty, nasty, and full of rage-filled angst."
