Hypnotised (2023 Reissue)

The Undertones formed in Derry, Northern Ireland, in 1975 and released their follow up album ‘Hypnotised’ in 1980 which peaked at #6 in the UK Charts.

The themes on this title follow suit of their debut, focusing on teenage angst, boisterousness, and heartbreak, though Hypnotised is notably both lyrically and musically more sophisticated than it predecessor.

The album contains 14 punky pop classics, with a slightly tougher edge than the unfailingly sweet-natured debut. The giddy love rush of the title track is
matched by some of Feargal Sharkey's most exuberant vocals, and the snotty What's with Terry? and My Perfect Cousin are yet more perfect slices of
adolescent frustration.

This reissue is the first time the band's highest charting release has been pressed on red colour vinyl.
