Description

The Undertones rose from the time of the Troubles in Derry, Northern Ireland to go on to be one of the biggest and most successful bands from Northern Ireland. The band's music developed from punk rock roots focused on teenage angst, growing up, love and heartbreak. 

The band’s first single was “Teenage Kicks”, a song that legendary DJ John Peel would say was his all-time favorite after playing it on his radio show, helping boost The Undertones career.

This episode is the story of the band after forming in 1974, the 1978 song “Teenage Kicks” along with the tale of this song with John Peel, and the albums that followed into the early 80’s.
