"Teenage Kicks" by Northern Ireland's The Undertones is one of our favorite singles of all time! Two snare hits and it's off into power pop/punk/new wave heaven.
We've been playing it at recent shows, joining a long line of bands covering the song, from Buzzcocks to Green Day to Franz Ferdinand. (We also heard a rumor that those One Direction boys roll this one out now and then, but we can't confirm.)
And don't miss this story about a "Teenage Kicks" (and John Peel) -inspired mural in Belfast. Very cool that it could be restored.
