The Undertones

The official Youtube channel for The Undertones.

Formed in Derry, 1976, The Undertones is the result of five friends (John O’Neill, Damian O’Neill, Feargal Sharkey, Billy Doherty & Michael Bradley) learning how to play basic rock and roll. Rehearsing in Damian’s bedroom eventually led to the band recording John O’Neill’s ‘Teenage Kicks’ in 1978, a record that became a beloved punk rock anthem, and famously a favourite of BBC Radio DJ John Peel. Over the next four years they released more pop gems like 'Here Comes The Summer', 'Jimmy Jimmy’, ‘My Perfect Cousin’, ‘It’s Going To Happen!’, as well as four highly acclaimed LPs. They also became a renowned live act, who are still touring to this day.
