He sounds like he could be the lead singer of the Undertones. If they say he is...then he is! He doesn't sound much like Fergal, but that's not so bad! I like it! Play on!
@HemelSaint76 Quite. There's a lot of misunderstanding on this page about what the 'Tones were doing. Any band making songs like 'Mars Bars','She Can Only Say No', 'Top Twenty', etc clearly never took themselves seriously. And they still don't. When they DID it all went to shit and they split. Fantastic band all about fun. By the way, listen to Mickey's Radio Show on BBC Radio Ulster on the iPlayer. An hour of great music.
...a bit DELUSIONAL to BELIEVE Fergal could EVER be adequately REPLACED...i don't BUY these RETRO outfits REFORMING in the wake of GREENDAY......middle aged men PRETENDING to care about music they made in their TEENS reeks of CONTRIVANCE.
@jaymusseato they never ceased to be after fergal left . they have always been gigging . just because they weren't selling like they did in the 70's / 80's doesn't mean they weren't touring . another example are the toy dolls .
The 'Tones have a knack for writing the perfect pop-punk tunes. This one is no different. Brilliant!! God I love The Undertones! Can't wait to see you again.
Why not? He was the only one who didn't write a song and he's been comprehensively been replaced by Paul making the band AT LEAST as good as they ever were. I've seen them plenty of times with both Sharkey AND McLoone and great though they were, they are at least as good now. Show me someone who thinks Sharkey WAS the 'Tones and I'll show you someone who thinks 'Teenage Kicks' was their finest hour.

Lots of shouting bits in that message buddy!
Question, have you seen them perform recently?
The band have a ball on stage, and really seem to enjoy playing to a like-minded crowd. Fast-paced, anthemic, tuneful, 3 min belters!!
Also need to take into account that they have recently released 2 albums, and that is where this track 'Thrill Me' comes from.
hardly fair to say that is all about pretending to care about old music from their teens!
Check them out at a gig, and then let us know...

This by far the best Tones track, amongst a mix of brilliant fast paced 3 min anthems.
Paul has now been in the tones longer than Fergal.!!
Paul to me is a better front-man, but we have to remember the Tones where at their peak when Fergal was in the band.
Long Live the Tones with Paul. Fergal was great in the beginning, but Paul is where it is now!
Get to see them live, you will NOT be disappointed.

@skatertumen Not questioning Feargals singing he's a great singer just his choice of solo songs.Also think the new guy is just as good.

@skatertumen Sharkey thought he was bigger than the band, thankfully he left.
The irony was that he was the weak link..
The 'Tones have always been about John and Dee....OK, Mickey and Billy too!

It would be great if they released a live concert DVD, as a document of themselves.
The BBC have one when they were on Rock Goes To College (or In Concert), from about late 70s.
It's time those thick heads at the Beeb released their archive concerts like German tv shows Rockpalast and Musikladen have done.
