King Parrot are just about to wrap up their monstrous tour around North America with Pantera and Amon Amarth. Not a band to sit on their hands, they are taking a quick breather before heading back out on the road here at home for Part 2 of their Australian Album launch tour for the new record "A Young Person's Guide to King Parrot".
Local supports have been locked and loaded and with three incredible acts plus King Parrot, every show on the run is packed with the best and gnarliest of heavy music this country has to offer.

Spawning FIVE magnificent singles, Fuck You And The Horse You Rode In On, Target Pig Elite, Punish The Runt, Look Away I'm Hideous and Get What Ya Given A Young Person's Guide to King Parrot has been described as a 'crazed exercise in mayhem' by Sentinel Daily, a 'defiant statement of identity, chaos and craft' by Heavy Mag and Sense Media say it's 'something uglier and nastier, harsher and darker than what has come before.' While Hi FI Way say the Young Person's Guide is 'uncompromising, ugly, brutal, direct and with plenty of neck breaking riffs and breakdowns to keep the chiropractor in business.'
On a different note, Metal On Tap say 'King Parrot grind all the way through with aggression, attitude, and a message of sovereignty and independence. Our lives have been taken from us — A Young Person’s Guide To is the call to take it back.'
