The Undertones

Formed in Northern Ireland in 1975, The Undertones became renowned for combining lyrical invention and musical flair with intelligent simplicity, and their anthemic Teenage Kicks was one of the most influential songs of the post-punk era. On May 13 1979 Seymour Stein’s Sire records released the band’s self titled debut album, The Undertones; to mark that 40th anniversary, The Undertones now present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what is considered by many to be one of the best punk albums of all time (Family Entertainment, Male Model, Jump Boys, Here Comes The Summer, Jimmy Jimmy), adding to them a bucketful of their iconic guitar pop hits and anthems, Get Over You, My Perfect Cousin, You’ve Got My Number, Julie Ocean, Wednesday Week, and, of course, Teenage Kicks.

Special guest Neville Staple, also known as The Original Rudeboy, is credited with changing the face of pop music not only once but twice.
