La banda fue fundada en 1982 por dos jóvenes de Manchester, Johnny Marr y Stephen Patrick Morrissey, aunque este último es mejor conocido por su apellido, Morrissey. Marr estaba buscando gente para formar una banda cuando unos amigos suyos le contaron acerca de un joven que vivía cerca y que tenía un estilo particular de escribir, aunque le advirtieron que era difícil de tratar y que hasta ahora sólo se había dedicado a la literatura.

The Smiths were a rock band which formed in 1982 in Manchester, England, United Kingdom. The band consisted of Morrissey (vocals, lyrics), Johnny Marr (guitar, music), Mike Joyce (drums) and Andy Rourke (bass). Hugely influential, The Smiths lasted all of five years from 1982 to 1987, releasing during this period four studio albums (The Smiths, Meat Is Murder, The Queen Is Dead and Strangeways, Here We Come) and three compilation albums (Hatful of Hollow, The World Won't Listen and Louder Than Bombs). Meat Is Murder went on to enter the British charts at number one in February of 1985, and The Queen Is Dead further confirmed the band's popularity with its release in spring 1986. Greeted with enthusiastic reviews and peaking at number two on the U.K. charts, the album also developed The Smiths' cult following in the U.S., breaking into the Top 100.
