    About The Smiths

    The Smiths, hailing from Manchester, were a seminal English rock band that formed in 1982 and left an indelible mark on the music scene with their unique blend of new wave, madchester, and jangle pop. Comprised of Morrissey on vocals, Johnny Marr on guitar, Andy Rourke on bass, and Mike Joyce on drums, the band's creative force was the songwriting partnership between Morrissey and Marr. Their discography, though relatively small, includes four studio albums, a live album, numerous compilations, EPs, and singles, all of which showcased their distinctive sound and poetic lyrics. The Smiths' music, characterized by its melancholic yet uplifting tone, quickly garnered a devoted following and influenced countless bands in the alternative rock and indie scenes. Despite their relatively short career, spanning from 1982 to 1987, The Smiths' impact on British music is immeasurable, making them one of the most critically acclaimed and beloved bands of the 1980s.
