Undo – Undo

Formed in 2016, Glasgow four-piece Undo make quite the racket. In point of fact, on first listen, they probably sound as noisy and ramshackle as any rocking Glasgow four piece you'd care to name. 

But give them a second listen and a third, and you'll start to discern that actually these boys might be a force to be reckoned with. Hollow Hands kicks things off and you can see four boys with their guitars and drums in some dirty garage throwing shapes. This could be AC Acoustics, you think. This could be early Idlewild.

Then you get a Hooky-esque bassline and a scratchy winding guitar and you think, hmmm, maybe these boys aren't just angry. There is intent here. Paint Me bursts out of the gate – and it could be Pale Saints, it could be a Lemonheads B-side circa Lovey. You stop for a moment and Google a bit. Ah, they opened for Nothing. That makes sense. There is definitely a kinship there. They seem to marry the same kind of fury to the same kind of melody.

They make a provocative noise – you can hear it in a song like Scarlet, whose guitar line could well be a swaggering drunk waving his fists at you. The best thing about Undo's debut, though – better even than the fact that you know almost every song is worth a repeated play within a few seconds of the first listen – is that they still feel like a secret. So you get the added benefit of discovering a top new band and lording it up over your mates. Bonus.
