The Undertones are a Irish band of punk rock formed in 1975. Its members are Paul McLoone, Michael Bradley, Damian O´Neil, Billy Doherty, and John O´Neil. They began playing songs of other band sin schools with the name, The Hot Rods, but they changed their name because another band had the same name.
They published their firsts works in 1977 coinciding with the explosion punk in United Kingdom. Their first single, “Teenage Kicks”, had much success. But the band split up in 1983 because there were tensions in it. Paul joined to the band in 1999 and since then they play sometimes and they continued composing. They also participed in a documentary called The Undertones: Teenage Kicks in 2004.

Hi you there.
In this page we’re going to deal with music related to Ireland.
We have chosen some emblematic bands and singers and they are ordered chronologically.
But first of all, let’s start with a small introduction.
Irish Music is the generic term for music that has been created in various genres on the island of Ireland.
The indigenous music of the island is termed Irish traditional music. It has remained vibrant through the 20th, and into the 21st century, despite globalizing cultural forces. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music influences from Britain and the United States, Irish music has kept many of its traditional aspects and has itself influenced many forms of music, such as country and roots music in the USA, which in turn have had some influence on modern rock music. It has occasionally been fused with rock and roll, punk rock and other genres.
