UNITED BOTTLES formed in 2015 from members of the sadly departed Belfast Oi! band "Runnin' Riot".
They play uncompromising melodic, sing-a-long StreetPunk tunes, incorporating a slightly heavier edge at times.
Intially starting out as a three piece outfit, playing locally on the Belfast scene, a mini Irish tour with Cork city Oi! stalwarts The Jollars, and the "GGI Festival" in Glasgow, they recruited second guitarist Phil in October of 2016.
They released their debut album "The spirit and the legacy" in July 2017 to great reviews.
The band went on to open for the Dropkick Murphys at Dublins Iveagh Gardens and have played many gigs and festivals around Ireland and the UK.
The Jollars were a Cork City based 4 piece Oi! band formed from the ashes of Cork punk band Crúibín and were active from 2011-2019. It featured members of Section 4/ Cruibin/ Altered Hours / Ructions/ The Hacklers... Members; Bob (Guitar/Vox), Markie (Guitar/Vox) Wah (Bass/Vox), Nora (Drums). A band that was devoted in the great Irish tradition to writing protest songs and drinking songs and not always separately. They played the majority of their gigs around Ireland and had some brief forays into Europe playing Germany and France. They released their only full length album in 2016 'Half Cut' on Aggrobeat Records in the Netherlands.
