Vous imaginez bien que quand on pense aux Smiths, on pense à une guitare qui couine et une voix qui traîne. Eh bien c'est exactement ce qu'il s'est passé à Manchester, au début des années 80. Morrissey et Johnny Marr ont croisé la route vers 1982, et ce duo d'écriture, c'était pas juste une collaboration, c'était le coeur du truc. Ils ont ensuite recruté Andy Rourke à la basse et Mike Joyce à la batterie, et le quatuor était complet. Leur premier album, sorti en 1984, a posé les bases d'un son qui refusait radicalement le synthé-pop dominant à l'époque. Faut dire qu'avec une guitare, une basse et une batterie, ils jouaient plutôt dans le domaine du rock indépendant, un peu dans la veine art rock et post-punk. Rough Trade Records, le label, a compris le potentiel dès le départ. Entre 1984 et 1987, ils ont sorti quatre albums studio qui ont marqué un pan entier de la musique britannique. Meat Is Murder en 1985, The Queen Is Dead en 1986, Strangeways Here We Come en 1987. Le dernier. Le groupe s'est séparé en 1987, principalement à cause des tensions grandissantes entre Morrissey et Marr. C'est juste le fait. Andy Rourke, lui, nous a quittés en mai 2023. Johnny Marr et Morrissey continuent chacun de leur côté, mais le nom des Smiths reste gravé quelque part, comme une plaque commémorative qu'on croise tous les jours sans y penser.
