The Undertones - True Confessions (1978)

Originally on the flip side to 'Teenage Kicks', the much loved and played side by John Peel. It was released on the Good Vibrations Record Label run by Terri Hooley which initially started out from a small building on Great Victoria Street in Belfast.

This track 'True Confessions' taken from their appearance on BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test. The attitude and energy was certainly Punk even if the dress sense doesn't sum up what you might expect to see. Nonetheless, one of the finest punk bands around at the time and their music still stands out today. (Completely to the contrary of the graffiti displayed on the record sleeve taken by photographer Paddy Simms!)
