The band surprisingly struggled for a major label to take them on, and so created their own (Distiller Records), and they've have managed to bag two great producers - including Ian Grimble (Manic Street Preachers, Travis) - who have helped their sound mature and evolve. Doing Fine is an edgy, confident track with influences ranging from the Editors and U2, opening with a neat guitar riff and undeniably cool sounding vocals. The song progresses disarmingly; no anthem of a chorus, a very gradual build-up, but this all adds to the simplicity of the song.

Undercut have energy and charisma, and a self-assurance in their music which is ambitious but pulled off close to perfection. A promising single, it seems Undercut's goals are growing, and deservedly so.
