The Mill Glasgow - United Fruit & Orko

This week at The Mill Glasgow (Oran Mor, Thurs 4th June) we have United Fruit & Orko performing.

United Fruit
Buried deep in the heart of Glasgow, United Fruit are a new exciting quartet bringing their unique thunderous brand of catchy, chaotic alt rock to a thriving scene of noisy bands. They have been compared to bands such as At The Drive-In, Sonic Youth, Fugazi And Mclusky. Spending their first year in the underground circuit supporting bands such as Monotonix, Desalvo and Maps & Atlases, to featuring at bills across Scotland including Go North festival in Inverness and 2 Days in Stereo in Glasgow, they are gathering their own little army. Their first EP ‘Mistress, Reptile Mistress!’ came out at the end of May on Glasgow indie label She Said Records to glowing reviews. They are due to release their anticipated first album in early 2010.

Orko
Orko are a 4 piece rock band from Glasgow who have been slowly building a name for themselves with their powerful performances and clever songwriting. They have been compared to American Indie Heroes, Hey Mercedes and Far as well as Scottish bands such as Stapleton and Idlewild although few of these comparisons really ring completely true. Having played and toured with bands such as Hundred Reasons, Hell Is For Heroes, Biffy Clyro, Oceansize, Fightstar, Twin Atlantic, Sucioperro, Brigade, Kids in Glass Houses and The Kooks to name but a few, they have grown to be one of the best live bands on the Scottish circuit. Their debut album ‘Creating Short Fiction’ was released on Gravity DIP Records to widespread acclaim.

The Mill is a the creative brandchild of Miller Genuine Draft providing emerging bands the tools to further their music career.
