Rock group from Bayonne, New Jersey. They have a very interesting sound combining 1960's style folk rock with some 1980's style punk. Many of their songs are written in a minor key giving them a certain kind of melancholy feel. Their albums include:
- Especially For You
- Green Thoughts
- 11
- Blow Up
- A Date With The Smithereens
- God Save The Smithereens
Their lead singer Pat DiNizio also was the
Reform Party candidate for the
U.S. Senate from
New Jersey in 2000. I have no idea how many votes he got.
