Today it’s June 21 again, start of the summer and the longest day of the year.
Here in Belgium, it’s (another) rainy start, but fortunately, better days are around
the corner.

Anyway, no better way to gear up for a long summer with Northern
Irish pop-punk legends THE UNDERTONES and their sunlit 1979 hit
HERE COMES THE SUMMER.

“Oh baby baby what can I do
You know you drive me crazy when I’m looking at you
The summer’s really here and it’s time to come out
Time to discover what fun is about
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer

Keep looking for the girls with their faces all tanned
Lying on the beaches all covered in sand
Stretching out their long legs lying in the sun
They know they’re beautiful they’re having fun
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer
Here comes the summer”

This very day 40 years ago, on 13 May 1979 North Irish Derry mates THE UNDERTONES released their eponymous album filled with sped-up ebullitions you could scream along their choruses to at the top of your lungs, with electrical flare-ups you could pogo to and with teenage kicks that made your bloodstream go way faster (for the record: the group’s classic crackerjack Teenage Kicks‘ wasn’t on the first original pressing of this debut.) These young Irish punks became masters of two-minute three-chord pop songs about girlfriends, male models & jump boys and tons of sweet sixteen love songs instead of about white riots and feeling pretty vacant. ALL MUSIC called it a perfect album. review HERE. .

Irish pop punks not only wrote timeless killer stroke Teenage Kicks. Oh no,
folks, THE UNDERTONES scored a big bag of catchy rippers between 1978 and
1983, releasing thirteen singles and four studio albums over that period with
original frontman Feargal Sharkey in the middle. One of their many upbeat
crackerjacks was HERE COMES THE SUMMER. An irresistible knockout, a
perfect earworm to start the summer of 2018…
