The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin

Review by Chuck Godfrey

My Perfect Cousin by Undertones is an album that has managed to stand the test of time. Released in 1980, it still remains a classic in the punk rock genre. The album has 14 tracks, all of which are well crafted and have a distinct sound that is quintessentially Undertones.

The album opens with the infectious "Here Comes the Summer," a song that sets the tone for what's to come. The catchy guitar riffs, the driving drums, and the distinctive vocals of Feargal Sharkey make this song an instant classic. Other standout tracks include "Jimmy Jimmy," "Get Over You," and "Family Entertainment," all of which showcase the band's raw energy and punk sensibilities.

One of the album's highlights is the title track, "My Perfect Cousin." It's a humorous take on a family member who seems to have it all together, but in reality, is far from perfect. The song's catchy melody and witty lyrics make it a fan favorite and a staple of the band's live performances.

About The Undertones

Album herunterladen The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin

The Undertones formed in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1975. Their debut EP, Teenage Kicks, was released by Belfast record shop owner Terry Hooley on his Good Vibrations label in September 1978. The song captivated Britain's top DJ, , who played the song on his radio show. This attracted a deal from , which released the band's debut LP in April 1979. That Autumn, The Undertones earned kudos as a support act on the Clash's American tour. A second LP, Hypnotised, was recorded and released in 1980, followed in 1981 by their first LP for EMI, Positive Touch. The Sin Of Pride was released in 1983, shortly before the Undertones split up in the summer of 1983 after a series of summer festival gigs. Feargal Sharkey launched a short-lived solo career, while the O'Neills won critical plaudits - but little sales - for their tough-minded political band, That Petrol Emotion. Hopes of re-forming the original lineup for John Peel's 50th birthday fell apart after the O'Neills' father died. Their first new album in 20 years, Get What You Need, was released in September 2003. Original Line-up: John and Damian ONeill - guitar; Michael Bradley - bass; Billy Doherty - drums; Feargal Sharkey - vocals.
