King Parrot – A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot: Album Review By Mark Jenkins.

After five years away, Australia's King Parrot returns with their most ferocious statement yet. A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot is thirty-five minutes of pure sonic brutality that never lets up.

From the opening blast of Get What You're Given, it's clear King Parrot hasn't mellowed with age. Matt Young's vocals are as caustic as ever, delivered over a relentless barrage of grinding riffs and punishing drums. The follow-up Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On lives up to its confrontational title—it's the sound of a band with zero interest in playing nice.

What makes King Parrot special isn't just their aggression, but their distinctly Australian character. Tracks like Cunning As A Dunny Rat and It's A Rort blend grindcore fury with local vernacular in ways that feel both authentic and absurd. This isn't metal tourism—it's the real deal, warts and all.

The album's middle section maintains the intensity through Punish The Runt and Target Pig Elite, each track offering its own flavour of chaos without ever feeling repetitive. By the time closer Pissing On The Fist Of The Law arrives, you're left breathless but wanting more.

King Parrot has never aimed for mainstream acceptance, and that's precisely their strength. This is music for those who want their metal uncompromising and unfiltered. After half a decade away, they've returned not just intact, but hungrier than ever.

A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot proves that some bands are worth the wait. Brutal, authentic, and unapologetically Australian—King Parrot are back where they belong.
