Our Take

Hold onto your knickers, folks, because the UNDERTONES are back with another infectious dose of punk energy on their latest album, "Hard to Beat".

From the moment the needle hits the grooves, it's clear that these lads haven't lost a step since their heyday in the late 70s. The guitar riffs are as sharp as ever, the drums are tight, and frontman Feargal Sharkey's vocals are as charmingly snotty as ever.

Tracks like "Kick This One", with its driving beat and catchy chorus, will have you pogo-ing around your living room in no time. And "Peaches", a bouncy number with cheeky lyrics, is sure to put a smile on your face.

But it's not all fun and games on "Hard to Beat". The band also delves into more serious topics, like on the haunting "Turning Blue", a slow burner that showcases the band's more introspective side.

Overall, the UNDERTONES have delivered another solid album that is sure to please fans old and new alike. So grab a pint, crank up the volume, and let "Hard to Beat" take you on a rollicking ride through the world of punk rock. Cheers!

The Undertones

UNDERTONES: The Undisputed Kings of Punk Pop Hailing from Derry, Northern Ireland, UNDERTONES burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s with their infectious blend of punk rock energy and catchy pop melodies. Led by the charismatic frontman Feargal Sharkey, this quintet quickly gained a devoted following and became known as one of the most influential bands of the era. Their seminal debut album, "The Undertones," released in 1979, showcased the band's raw, unapologetic sound and spawned the hit single "Teenage Kicks," which remains a timeless anthem for rebellious youth everywhere. With its punchy guitars, infectious chorus, and Sharkey's distinctive vocals, the track captured the essence of the band's signature style. Despite their early success, UNDERTONES continued to push boundaries and evolve their sound with subsequent releases such as "Hypnotized" and "My Perfect Cousin," earning critical acclaim and cementing their status as pioneers of the punk pop genre. With their energetic live performances and rebellious spirit, they captivated audiences around the world and left an indelible mark on the music industry. After a brief hiatus in the 1980s, UNDERTONES reunited in the early 2000s to the delight of fans old and new. Their music continues to resonate with listeners today, proving that good music never goes out of style. With their infectious hooks, irreverent lyrics, and undeniable charm, UNDERTONES remain a force to be reckoned with in the world of punk pop - a true testament to their enduring popularity and influence.
