Sobre o artista
The Smiths foi uma banda de rock inglesa formada em Manchester em 1982, construída em torno da parceria de composição entre o vocalista e letrista Morrissey e o guitarrista e compositor Johnny Marr. Completada pelo baixista Andy Rourke e pelo baterista Mike Joyce, a banda tornou-se um dos atos mais influentes do indie e do rock alternativo britânico dos anos oitenta, destacando-se do pop dominado por sintetizadores da época com um som baseado em guitarras cristalinas e melódicas aliadas a letras inteligentes, literárias e frequentemente melancólicas.
A voz distintiva de Morrissey e seu humor provocador e impassível se combinavam com os arranjos de guitarra inventivos e ricos em textura de Marr, criando um som ao mesmo tempo guitarrístico e acessível ao grande público. Canções como «This Charming Man», «How Soon Is Now?» e «There Is a Light That Never Goes Out» tornaram-se referências do gênero, abordando temas de alienação, desejo, classe social e humor sombrio com uma franqueza emocional pouco comum no pop convencional da época.
Apesar de terem gravado apenas alguns álbuns de estúdio antes de se dissolverem em 1987, The Smiths deixaram um legado desproporcional, moldando o som e a sensibilidade de inúmeras bandas indie e alternativas posteriores. Seu catálogo continua sendo uma referência fundamental para a música de guitarra britânica, e tanto Morrissey quanto Marr construíram carreiras solo notáveis após o fim da banda.
