Legendary punk-pop tunesmiths The Undertones emerged from Derry, Northern Ireland in 1974, and learned their trade by listening to mail order records and reading one of the few copies of NME that made it to Derry. Practicing in their bedrooms eventually led to them recording and releasing “Teenage Kicks” in 1978.

Press fast forward The Undertones present a glorious set of classic tracks taken from what are considered by many fans and critics to be some of the best punk albums of all time.

The Rezillos burst forth upon the rock scene in 1976, having gathered together at Edinburgh College of Art. Through a shared love of Sixties Garage Rock and the Spectoresque Girl Group glam of The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las, The Rezillos found themselves inadvertently caught up in the Punk or New Wave movement. Their debut single, “I Can’t Stand My Baby“, shot them to underground fame initially via airings on John Peel’s radio show. Their classic singles “My Baby Does Good Sculptures“, “Top of the Pops” and “Destination Venus” signalled critically acclaimed milestones for the band.Their landmark album of 1978 “Can’t Stand the Rezillos” reached the top 10 in the UK album chart.
