Day 0438 - The Undertones

The Undertones "The Undertones" (1979)


The diversity of the 70s musical landscape comes out again as we jump from a 'disco' album back into the seedy den of punk.

The Undertones are from Northern Ireland which then makes it odd that they didn't dip their wick into angry politics for their lyrics. Instead it's mostly about girls and Saturday nights and other such things young men might want to indulge in.

Not a lot to say about this one, it's a relatively 'clean' garagey punk band/album with a bit of melody thrown in for good measure. Not bad, but nothing I'd rush to listen to again.
