Aussie grinders King Parrot have put up a music video for their song “It’s A Rort“. The group culled footage from their headlining set at the 2026 ‘Flippin’ The Bird‘ festival in Frankston, Australia this past February for this clip. Vocalist Matt Young had the following to say about the song and that show:
“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!”
You can catch the band out in the United States at the moment, opening for GWAR and Soulfly on the ‘Gor-Gor Strikes Back Tour‘.
