King Parrot Release “It’s A Rort” Music Video Featuring Wild ‘Flippin’ The Bird’ Festival Footage

Aussie grindcore troublemakers King Parrot have dropped a new music video for their track “It’s A Rort,” pulling together chaotic footage from their headline set at the 2026 ‘Flippin’ The Bird’ festival in Frankston, Australia this past February.

The clip captures the band in full live chaos mode, showcasing their high-energy performance style and the crowd reaction during the track’s breakdown-heavy finale.

Frontman Matt Young explained the inspiration behind the song and the decision to turn the live performance into a video:

“When we started playing ‘It’s A Rort,’ we felt that the audience participation factor for the hardcore style breakdown at the end might make it a crowd favorite. It felt like a no-brainer to make a video for this song and when we headlined Flippin’ The Bird in February, we felt it was the right moment to capture the live intensity of the song. ‘Rort’ is a common term we use back home when you’re getting ripped off, scammed, or lied to. We’ve recently found out that ‘rort’ is not a word commonly used in the US so we’ve spent time explaining it to people, as we feel like it’s a pretty apt time to use it!”

The release arrives as King Parrot are currently touring the United States on the ‘Gor-Gor Strikes Back Tour’, supporting GWAR and Soulfly.
