ULTRAS are a five-piece indie rock band from Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin), Éire, delivering loud, loyal and unapologetically Irish guitar music. In under a year, they’ve made serious waves across the Dublin scene, releasing a hattrick of 2025 singles — two of which were named RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week. Their momentum has earned spins on RTÉ 2FM, Cork Red FM, Galway Bay FM and BBC Radio Ulster, alongside international airplay stretching to the US, Europe and New Zealand. Praised by Hot Press for their rapid rise and standout shows at Whelan’s Upstairs, ULTRAS have commanded stages across The Workman’s Club, The Grand Social, The Bernard Shaw, Sin É, Soundhouse and even the Hard Rock Café. Blending early-2000s indie energy with themes of national pride, romance, emigration and community, they wear their Irish identity on their sleeve — proudly loud and rooted in home soil.
“Count Your Days” captures ULTRAS at full throttle. The track fuses punchy, anthemic guitars with emotionally charged lyricism, balancing defiance and heart in equal measure. There’s a rallying-cry quality to it — a song built for packed rooms, raised pints and shouted choruses. Rooted in their unmistakably Irish storytelling, “Count Your Days” carries both grit and sincerity, reinforcing the band’s knack for crafting indie rock with bite and belief.
Why it is trending: Riding the wave of multiple RTÉ 2FM Track of the Week placements and strong national radio support, “Count Your Days” benefits from ULTRAS’ rapidly expanding profile. With festival appearances, breakout support slots and consistent live buzz across Dublin, the single stands as a defining moment in what’s shaping up to be a huge breakout year for the band.
