The Shining scared the shit out of me as a child. Jack Torrance wasn’t like the monsters I’d seen in Alien and Nightmare On Elm Street — he was far too human. So, I’m always appreciative of a good Shining reference and ‘Dead End‘, the new video from Aussie mentalists King Parrot, twists the classic tale into a thrashy, humour-ridden, beer-shotgunning party. It’s as great as it sounds:

Dead End‘ is taken from their 2012 release Bite Your Head Off, but I caught on quite late and only got to listen last year so here’s to hoping they’re still hard at work on the follow up.

And if you’re in the US, try and catch the band on their upcoming tour that spans March and April — there’s shows with Cattle Decapitation and Vattnet Viskar so expect some eclectic line-ups to follow around this band of merry men. The dates are as follows:
