Revered and massively influential, the Smiths have been called the most important band of the fertile U.K. 1980s music scene. While the group was only active for five years (1982 to 1987), the cult of the Manchester-reared foursome has ballooned inthe three decades since its dissolution.Despite a $75 million offer to reunite for a two month tour in 2007, Morrissey and Johnny Marr, the groups principals, refused, opting to leave their legend untainted. The Smiths have since influenced a whos who of alternative music, includingDeath Cab for Cutie, Radiohead, the Killers, Jeff Buckley, Pete Yorn, the Decemberists, and Oasis.Featuring a foreword by guitarist and “Fifth Smith” who played with the band in 1986, The Smiths FAQ traces the bands history with clarity and detail, illuminating such questions as Who were the Nosebleeds? Why did Morrissey shun the Ramones?Who were the Paris Valentinos? What was Cult guitarist Billy Duffys connection to the band? How was Morrissey injured during the groups U.S. debut performance?

Luerssen (author of FAQ series titlesabout U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Nirvana) gathers the indispensable early facts, the legendary stories, and inimitable anecdotes that make this a must-own tome for all fans.
