The Undertones udsender en str\u00f8m af catchy singler og fire albums inden opl\u00f8sningen i sommeren 1983. <em>Sin of Pride<\/em> (1983), det sidste af dem og muligvis det bedste soulinspirerede (!) nordirske album nogensinde, k\u00f8res hjem af Feargal Sharkey&#8217;s s\u00e5 specielle og pressede vibrato-stemme, men vinder dog ikke The Undertones ny tid at leve p\u00e5, presset som de de er af store pladeselskabsforventninger og interne stridigheder, specielt mellem guitarist\/sangskriver John O&#8217;Neill og Feargal Sharkey.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2trrVXF5V4s?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Efter opl\u00f8sningen medvirker Sharkey p\u00e5 &#8216;Never, Never&#8217;, en fin single med Vince Clarke&#8217;s The Assembly, det f\u00f8r en solokarriere byder p\u00e5 tre yderst mainstreamproducerede soloalbums, kendetegnet af de to 1985-hits &#8216;A Good Heart&#8217; og &#8216;You Little Thief&#8217;. I 1991 tr\u00e6kker Feargal Sharkey stikket til egen karriere og g\u00e5r istedet ind i pladeselskabs- og msuikbranchen, hvor han har arbejdet lige siden. Da The Undertones i 1999 bliver gendannet vil Feargal Sharkey ikke v\u00e6re med, og bandet m\u00e5 finde ny forsanger. Naturligvis lykkes de ikke finde en, der andet end lyder som et svagt ekko af den oprindelige kanonstemme. Som i dag fylder 60 \u00e5r. &#8216;Teenage Kicks&#8217; og mange andre The Undertones-sange fra dengang lyder dog stadig s\u00e5 umiddelbare, p\u00e5tr\u00e6ngende og vitale, at en oplysning som denne, om sangerens nu s\u00e5 voksne alder, f\u00f8rst og fremmest synes uvirkelig. For p\u00e5 rygraden vil Feargal Sharkey og co. altid v\u00e6re de n\u00e6sten uskyldige unge m\u00e6nd med for korte lange bukser, d\u00e5rlig hud, bizarre accenter og eksplosionerne af eufori.
