This iconic track, often cited as one of the greatest punk songs of all time, captured the youthful angst and exhilaration of a generation. Their music is characterised by its melodic sensibility, driving rhythms, and Feargal Sharkey's distinctive, powerful vocals, often telling tales of teenage love, frustration, and everyday life with a uniquely Irish charm.
