Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Smiths were a Manchester-based Alternative Rock band that formed in 1982 and broke up in 1987. Based on the songwriting partnership of Morrissey (vocals) and Johnny Marr (guitar), the band also included Andy Rourke (bass) and Mike Joyce (drums). Their sound was largely defined by the combination of Morrissey's witty, Deadpan Snarker lyrics and Campy, Melodramatic vocals, Marr's jangly, catchy pop-rock melodies (drawing a lot from The Beatles, Power Pop and classic rock) and the steady support of the Rourke-Joyce rhythm section, but they've branched out beyond pop-rock and experimented over the course of their career. |
