The
Undertones - Discography and Biog
The
best band ever to come from Northern Ireland, the Undertones took
youthful adoration for glam-rock and gave it the stripped-down
simplicity and energy of punk to create truly wonderful albums
of pop/rock (and, toward the end, soul) with a difference. The
bands body of work reveals rapid creative growth; each album
clearly shows a different stage in its development. The group's
1983 demise, as unavoidable as it was disappointing, resulted
from a lack of sustained commercial success and the inability
to shake the public's first impression of them as an Irish Ramones.
