Sadly, our fantastic feathered buddy, Waldo, is not 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 filled with rage-filled angst. The monitor is taken from KP’s first full-length, A Younger Individual’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 very good offended lather within the meantime, as evidenced by this blistering new monitor.
Manufacturing of A Younger Individual’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 by way of Housecore Data. 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 concerning the new single:
“After experiencing the lack of two of my closest mates in 2023, the expertise of grief and life hit not solely me, however the complete band in a heavy method. We misplaced our biggest buddy and ally Boyd Synnott in 2023 who had performed a number of of our album and EP covers, numerous artwork and merch concepts, in addition to appearing and serving to produce our music movies. This loss crushed us, but in addition helped fan the fireplace and drive motivation to push ahead with this new album. This track notably offers with grief, loss and the stress 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 by all of it. Now we have the reside exhibits to come back along with our individuals, rejoice the music and blow off some steam, it’s a reasonably rattling whole lot.”
