The Smiths The Smiths nada-hidden and sounds like an albumAn era dominated by synth pop and gloomy post punk, the smith's eponymous debut was the beginning of a new era. Joh my marr's inventive song writing and ringing guitars were catchy and melodic and were made all the more original by morrissey's vocal style and lyrics.
