KING PARROT is touring in support of their critically lauded A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot full-length, released last month on Housecore Records in North America.
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 2022’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.
Watch KING PARROT’s “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On” live on Volume Dealer Live Sessions HERE. Watch the band’s previously released videos for “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On” HERE, “Target Pig Elite” HERE, “Look Away I’m Hideous” HERE, and “Get What Ya Given” HERE.
A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot is available on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats.

“…a crazed exercise in mayhem…” – Sentinel Daily
“…a defiant statement of identity, chaos and craft…” – Heavy Mag
“…ugly, dirty, nasty, and full of rage-filled angst….” – Decibel Magazine on “Get What Ya Given”
“A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot is the band’s most consistent one yet putting a jolt into a young person’s day one sonic sledgehammer at a time.” – Heavy Music HQ
“KING PARROT have evolved into something uglier and nastier, and considering how much time they’ve spent playing with Pantera, it seems appropriate to compare. If Bite Your Head Off is their Vulgar Display Of Power and Ugly Produce is their Far Beyond Driven, then this is their Great Southern Trendkill – harsher and darker than what has come before, and which will probably be looked back on as a fan-favorite in the years to come Fans, rejoice, because this just might be your new favorite KING PARROT record … and if it isn’t, tough shit, you’ll ‘Get What Ya Given.’” – Sense Music Media
“It spits in the face of our waning humanity and gives a middle finger to the puppet masters pulling the strings. KING PARROT grinds all the way through with aggression, attitude, and a message of sovereignty and independence.” – Metal On Tap
“…make sure to shower after listening… you will feel grimy, in a good way.” – Ghost Cult
“This is a return to form and more! It reminds me why KING PARROT is one of the best grind bands on the planet. Whether you’re young or old, pick it up and get educated!” – Rebel Extravaganza
“…KING PARROT have made the kind of heavy record that will make even the most jaded, discerning, and diehard underground metal head grin. This is the most gleefully ruthless record of the past decade, and it finds the Melbourne, Australia quinte…in top form, to say the least.” — Life In Records
