The Smyths are a London-based tribute to the music of Morrissey and The Smiths.

Formed in 1993 the band have played over two hundred concerts in the UK, Europe and Asia.

Association with the original band and it's icons extends to several documented meetings with Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke, The Smiths' drummer and bassist as well as concerts at venues played by The Smiths themselves and associated places such as The Salford Lads Club.

In 2005 The Smyths took part in the inaugural Smiths Convention, organised by the University of Manchester; a two day event with a series of seminars discussing the cultural and intellectual significance of The Smiths and Morrissey.
