King Parrot Unleash the Beast on “Get What Ya Given”
Australian thrash/metalcore outfit King Parrot dropped a monstrous new single and accompanying video from their forthcoming full-length record, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot. Out today, “Get What Ya Given” is a hardcore single shared with a live show as its official music video.
So far, King Parrot has shared four tracks off their highly anticipated fourth studio album and “Get What Ya Given” explodes as another cutting-edge release.
Speaking about the song’s meaning, King Parrot frontman Matt Young shares:
“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.”
A Young Person’s Guide to King Parrot comes out June 6 via Housecore Records, but you can pre-order it here.
This month, the band is embarking on a short tour around Australia to coincide with the release of their new album. From July 31 King Parrot will join Pantera on the road. Fans can purchase King Parrot concert tickets here.
