Those rambunctious indie-folk rockers, Pierce Brothers return with a high-spirited, dynamic new single in ‘Bottle’; a track that encapsulates the infections energy that has defined the Brother’s live performances, for which they have become known the world over!

Penned by the brothers Jack and Pat Pierce during their last European tour, the inspiration for Bottle stems from the pangs of homesickness, and the adjustment of returning to normal life after being on tour. 

Fuelled by Memphis Horns fire and indie-folk organic goodness, ‘Bottle’ is the Pierce Brothers at their ridiculously catchy best. It’s not often the energy and sweat from an act that is known for intense, vibrant performances is conveyed over to the recorded medium, but ‘Bottle’ exudes that Jack and Pat magic. The shellshock of reality after extensive time away from home touring would normally be associated the downtempo, minor key blues numbers, yet the Pierce Brothers take that tale and breathe a tonne of (albeit whisky-fumed) light-hearted hope into it

Recorded at Jack's home studio, the duo enlisted the expertise of long-time collaborator Phil Threlfall to produce the track, describing him as an honorary band member. "We really wanted to give the song a blues, almost Motown feel. Kicking things off with the horns gave it such a vibe, and we absolutely love it! When I wrote the track, I knew the exact part the horns were going to play, but when we got into the studio, it was Phil who pitched that opening, and I‘m so happy he did!" says Jack.

‘Bottle’ is a soul-stirring testament to Pierce Brothers' musical evolution and their steadfast dedication to their craft. Having established themselves as a formidable presence in the indie music scene, the duo is slated to commemorate a decade of musical exploration, growth, and connection with their dedicated fanbase. Seamlessly weaving emotive lyrics with rambunctious instrumentals and boisterous bravado, ‘Bottle’ is a hallmark of the band's distinctive sound.

The accompanying music video for ‘Bottle’ is a raucous explosion of vibe! Filmed one morning at the King of Tonga bar in Elwood, the Brothers’ exuberant energy and dancing was captured by Pat’s side project and production company with Dara Munnis (Pierce Brothers' keys player). “It’s a pretty heavy subject matter, but I wanted to use a dark moody setting and have a bit of levity in there. We liked the idea of Jack going hell for leather, while I was slowly coaxed into the song. Much like a night at a pub can be.” Pat recalls, “It was such a quick shoot and edit, and came together really well! Just vibes for days!”

In tandem with the single release, Pierce Brothers are gearing up for a European Tour in February 2024. Promising an unforgettable experience, the tour will showcase the duo's extensive repertoire, captivating audiences with their magnetic stage presence and infectious energy.

Adding another noteworthy achievement to their portfolio, Pierce Brothers were recently featured on the iconic children's program, Play School. This fun crossover spotlighted the band's versatility, introducing their music to a new generation and affirming their universal appeal.

Bottle is now available on all major streaming platforms, inviting fans to immerse themselves in Pierce Brothers' latest offering. With no sign of slowing down, Pierce Brothers continue to captivate global audiences with their enduring passion and creativity. With their vibrant live shows and soul-touching music, they stand poised to make an indelible mark on the indie-folk genre.
