Formed in 1976, The Undertones are celebrating their 40th anniversary with the reissue of their first two albums.
The Undertones and Hypnotised are both available on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl, remastered from original tapes and original replicated artwork, along with a Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine/Primal Scream) remix of Get Over You" available on 7”. The band also has a 12-date UK/European tour scheduled to mark the anniversary.
Bassist Michael Bradley released a memoir, Teenage Kicks: My Life as an Undertone, earlier this year.
