King Parrot Premiere New Music Video For "It’s A Rort"

Australian grindcore outfit King Parrot have released a music video for their track “It’s A Rort.” The clip features footage taken from their headlining performance at the 2026 “Flippin’ The Bird” festival in Frankston, Australia this past February. The track is taken from the band's fourth studio album, “A Young Person’s Guide To,” which was released in June 2025 through Housecore Records, the label run by Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo.

Speaking on the song and that show, frontman Matt Young said:

“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!”

Fans can currently catch the band on tour across the United States, where they’re opening for GWAR and Soulfly on the “Gor-Gor Strikes Back Tour”:
