The Undertones Biography

The Undertones are a punk rock/power pop band formed in Derry, Northern Ireland in 1975.

The original line-up of The Undertones released thirteen singles and four studio albums — The Undertones (1979), Hypnotised (1980), Positive Touch (1981), and The Sin of Pride (1983) — before disbanding in July 1983. The Undertones have since reformed, replacing lead singer Feargal Sharkey with Paul McLoone. Music guide Allmusic have since stated in a review of The Undertones: guitarists John and Damian O'Neill "mated infectious guitar hooks to 1960s garage, 1970s glam rock, and Feargal Sharkey's signature vocal quaver."
