KING PARROT Launches "Target Pig Elite" Video By Larry Petro, News Monkey Tuesday, March 4, 2025 @ 12:39 AM
"Target Pig Elite" is the latest single from Australia's raucous marauding, grindcore ensemble KING PARROT. The track comes by way of the band's new full-length, A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot, set for release on June 6th via Housecore Records in North America!
The video footage for "Target Pig Elite" is taken from the band's recent hometown show at Max Watt's in Melbourne. Expertly curated by video producer Dan Farmer, it also features artistic animation elements from the band's late artistic collaborator Boyd Synnott. With the blessing of Boyd's family, the band has incorporated elements of Boyd's artwork animation that fit perfectly with the theme of the new song.
Vocalist Matt Young comments, "This is a special one for us as we've really wanted to honor our late friend Boyd Synnott with this new record. His massive contributions to our band over the years cannot be understated. It's his artwork idea and concept for the album cover too. Incorporating his animation with this intense live footage adds a unique element that serves both song and video well.
Lyrically, the track is self-explanatory. The world is moving into unprecedented times and rather than turning on each other, our aim should be focused on those causing the chaos in this world."

A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot will be released on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats. Find physical preorders at the Housecore Records webshop, Bandcamp, and all other digital services.
A Young Person's Guide To King Parrot marks KING PARROT's first new output in five years. A hostile and abrasive slab of sensory destroying anthems, the record features ten thoroughly crafted blasts through the psyche of this crazed Aussie quintet. Recorded at Melbourne's Dangertone studios with engineer Luke Walton, it's the first full-length album since 2017's critically adored Ugly Produce offering and their first new music since 2022's Holed Up In The Lair EP.
Applying a similar approach to the writing process of their previous records, which has been historically organic and old-school, KING PARROT adopted a new approach to the studio process. Pulling the new record together was a meticulously creative endeavor steered by guitarist Andrew Livingstone-Squires and vocalist Matt Young who elaborates, "Throughout the mixing process, we ensured that we got every element where we wanted it. Guitar and bass tones were experimented with until we found exactly what we wanted, the drum sounds were just right, and the performance was executed solidly. Vocally, I rehearsed a lot so that when I recorded it was a breeze." The final product is the most complete, aggressive, and urgent the band has ever sounded.
