Smiths | Louder Than Bombs | CD

The Smiths were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1982. The group consisted of vocalist Morrissey, guitarist Johnny Marr, bassist Andy Rourke and drummer Mike Joyce. Critics have called them one of the most important bands to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s. Johnny Marr left in July 1987 and the band broke up later that year.

Louder Than Bombs is a one-disc compilation album by The Smiths, released in 1990 by Sire Records in the United States. The recordings were made in England from April 1983 to November 1986, and tracks 1 and 4 were produced for the BBC Radio 1 John Peel Show. Producers credited include John Porter, Johnny Marr, Morrissey and The Smiths, and the songs are credited to Johnny Marr and Morrissey.
