Released in 1981, Positive Touch marked a bold artistic evolution for The Undertones, the beloved punk rock band from Derry, Northern Ireland. Moving beyond their earlier sound, the album showcases a more mature and experimental approach, drawing comparisons to post-punk acts like Wire while retaining the infectious energy that made the band a fan favorite.
Positive Touch is a richly textured record that weaves together tribal drumming, piano, xylophone, and early drum-machine rhythms to create something genuinely adventurous. Tracks like "Fascination" and "Julie Ocean" highlight the band's willingness to push boundaries, while "Good-looking Girlfriend" delivers the kind of irresistible power pop that longtime fans will love. Now available on vinyl via BMG, this is a fantastic addition to any collection of classic rock and post-punk.
