King Parrot Drop First New Music in Five Years With “F*ck You And The Horse You Rode In On”

Australian thrash/grind maniacs King Parrot have returned with their first new music in half a decade, unleashing the furious “Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On” as the first taste of their upcoming album, A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot.

The single arrives alongside a disturbing, ‘Trainspotting’-inspired video directed by Dan Farmer, capturing the band’s signature chaotic energy. Vocalist Matt Young had a blunt message about the track:

“Essentially this track is dedicated to anyone that has ever crossed you, tried to belittle you, or make you feel less than. The title is pretty self-explanatory. There’s multiple people in my life from across the past few years that this song goes out to, and there’s a special spot in the lyrics for each of them. Cowards, abusers, bullies, and creeps—fuck you and the horse you rode in on!”

Speaking on the video, Young added:

“The video process for Horse was challenging—it ain’t easy recreating a scene where a bunch of dudes dive into a toilet bowl! We had the best time making it, but it certainly took a lot of effort and commitment from everyone involved. Our video producer Dan Farmer is a genius at his craft, and his ability to turn our visions into a reality is brilliant. Paying homage to Trainspotting was so much fun, and we hope we captured a video that people can return to for years to come.”

A Young Person’s Guide To King Parrot is set for release through Housecore Records (North America), Dead Set Records (Australia), Dead Serious Recordings (Europe), and Obliteration Records (Japan). Pre-orders are available now at linktr.ee/kingparrot.
