It's almost unthinkable, really, that Derry's fabled good-time teen punks of yesteryear would record and continue without frontman Feargal Sharkey, let alone that their output would be anything less than embarrassing. Yes, re-form without Feargal is what the Undertones did, and the results on Get What You Need are nowhere near embarrassing. Jimmy O'Neil still kicks ass as a songwriter of tight, focused greasy little ditties where girls and more girls are the predestined and predominant order    [ read more ]

It's hard to follow up a classic, as the Undertones themselves well knew, starting their second album with the endearingly self-effacing "More Songs About Chocolate and Girls," a song that acknowledges the difficulty of writing and recording a second album after the unexpected popularity of your first. Surprisingly, the lads make a good job of it; Hypnotised is only barely less perfect than the debut, and even the primary flaw, a pointless and rushed cover of "Under the Boardwalk," has its charm   [ read more ]

While the Buzzcocks may have done punk-pop first (and arguably best), the Undertones may well have had more fun with it than anybody anywhere, and no one ever blended the nanve sweetness of teen angst with the bitter energy of buzzsaw guitars the way Derry's finest did. The Undertones' first two albums (and nearly all their singles) are essential listening, and this collection of seven sessions recorded for BBC radio hardly improves upon the originals, but it captures the group's bright, pass   [ read more ]

Like the other volumes in Sanctuary Records' ambitious reissue project of the Undertones catalog, their final recording, The Sin of Pride from 1983, gets the deluxe treatment -- not only is the sound better than the Rykodisc reissues of the mid-'90s, but the liner notes feature quotes from John O'Neill, the band's principal songwriter, and tell the story of the band's dissolution. To ice the cake there are four more bonus tracks than the earlier reissues, giving a much more complete feel of t   [ read more ]

Seeing as how there are only four Undertones albums, and fully three of them are brilliant, the fourth, 1982's The Sin of Pride, is a misguided attempt to recast the group as slick and soulful dance-poppers, but even it sounds pretty good in comparison to singer Feargal Sharkey's positively wretched solo albums from the mid-'80s, it's really silly not to simply buy them all. However, the cautious newcomer might want to check out the U.K. compilation Teenage Kicks: The Best of the Undertones, a s   [ read more ]

Reissue! Best known because of lead singer Feargal Sharkey's solo career and the O'Neill brothers later stint as That Petrol Emotion, Ireland's the Undertones fashioned smart power pop and punk sides during the music's late '70s and early '80s heyday. While not in the Undertones' classic Ramones-go-pop mold, The Sin of Pride does find them grafting the bounce of Motown and layers of sound to their lithe and cerebral brand of punk. To help with the expanded program, the group have included trumpet, saxophon   [ read more ]
