The Smiths
The
Smiths were an English alternative rock band, formed in Manchester in 1982.
Based on the song writing partnership of Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr
(guitar), the band also included Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums).
Critics have called them the most important alternative rock band to emerge
from the British independent music scene of the 1980s. The group was signed to
the independent record label Rough Trade Records, on which they released four
studio albums, several compilations, and numerous non-LP singles. Although they
had limited commercial success outside the UK while they were still together,
and never released a single that charted higher than number 10 in their home
country, The Smiths won a significant following, and remain cult and commercial
favourites. The band broke up in 1987 and have turned down several offers to
reunite since then.
