Sadly, our fantastic feathered pal, Waldo, isn’t any lengthy with us, however we’re fairly positive that he would have misplaced his shit (as he was liable to do after squawking “Bombs away!”) over the newest single, “Get What Ya Given,” from Aussie grind fiends, King Parrot. Hell, we misplaced our shit after a viewing this two minute efficiency video for a monitor that’s an im-peck-able demonstration of the sort of grindcore that may solely originate from a former penal colony. It’s ugly, soiled, nasty and stuffed with rage-filled angst. The monitor is taken from KP’s first full-length, A Younger Particular person’s Information To, since 2017’s Ugly Produce, so these dudes—Andrew “Squiz” Livingstone-Squires (guitar), Matt “Youngy” Younger (vocals), Wayne “Slatts On a regular basis” Slattery (bass), Ari “Mr. White” White (guitar), Max Dangerfield (drums)—have had a while to develop a superb offended lather within the meantime, as evidenced by this blistering new monitor.
Manufacturing of A Younger Particular person’s Information To was overseen by Livingstone-Squires and Younger and was recorded at Melbourne’s Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton. It’s set for launch on vinyl, CD, cassette and digitally on June 6 through Housecore Information. Place your preorder right here. And take a look at the band’s Australian and U.S. (with Pantera and Amon Amarth) reside dates under the video.
Matt Younger had this to say in regards to the new single:
“After experiencing the lack of two of my closest buddies in 2023, the expertise of grief and life hit not solely me, however all the band in a heavy approach. We misplaced our best pal and ally Boyd Synnott in 2023 who had executed a number of of our album and EP covers, numerous artwork and merch concepts, in addition to performing and serving to produce our music movies. This loss crushed us, but additionally helped fan the hearth and drive motivation to push ahead with this new album. This track notably offers with grief, loss and the strain of on a regular basis life that some discover so suffocating. That is an homage to the chums we’ve misplaced, and to anybody who struggles with this shit. We’re grateful to have heavy music as an outlet and channel to work via all of it. Now we have the reside exhibits to return along with our individuals, have a good time the music and blow off some steam, it’s a fairly rattling whole lot.”
