The Undertones + Ruts DC

The Undertones emerged from Derry in the mid-1970s and became one of the best-loved bands of the original punk and power-pop era. Their breakout single ‘Teenage Kicks’ became a much-loved classic after championing from BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel, and their catalogue also includes songs such as ‘Here Comes the Summer’ and ‘My Perfect Cousin’. They are joined by Ruts DC, whose music combines punk energy with reggae and dub influences, bringing together two important strands of British punk history.
