Synopsis

Amazon.com

No band ever captured the innocent side of punk rock--the first generation, that is--as well as this Irish combo. Fueled by adolescent desire more than political angst, frontman Feargal Sharkey quavered and quailed about "Teenage Kicks" (to name but one of the album's multiple classics) while his bandmates pounded out incessantly pogo-friendly riffs that valued fun over fearsomeness. Each three-minute blast--from the starry "Here Comes the Summer" to the "yeah, whatever" self-deprecation of "Girls Don't Like It"--carries a depth charge of power beneath its frothy surface, a formula that would later be revived by Green Day. Sharkey went on to record more subdued solo material, while several of his bandmates formed the angular post-punk band That Petrol Emotion. --David Sprague

CD Reviews

THE GREATEST POWER POP-TYPE PUNK ALBUM OF ALL-TIME

Coleen | Down in the alley | 06/22/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is pure POP/PUNK THRILLS!!! How anyone could not like it is beyond me - it is to not like rock n roll itself! Or to never have been a teenager! Or to have LOST YOUTH! This is more fun than The Ramones, The Beatles, The Beach Boys (all of whom inspired The Undertones). Feargal Sharkey's got a high, quivery voice, but therein lies the adolescent tenderness amidst the crunching guitar fury. This is ear candy at its most addicting. And The Undertones are THE MOST UNDERRATED BAND OF ALL TIME, SADLY..."
