Formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1975, The Undertones became renowned for combining lyrical invention and musical flair with intelligent simplicity. Their anthemic Teenage Kicks, much loved by John Peel, is one of the most influential songs of the post-punk era.
On May 13th 1979 Seymour Stein’s Sire records released the band’s self-titled debut album The Undertones.
