Formed in 1980, The Smithereens have been playing a mix of rock and power pop in a way only they can. Songs like “A Girl Like You” and “Blood and Roses” are catchy without being corny, infused with a thin layer of darkness by the lyrics and the vocals of the late Paul DiNizio. Although DiNizio passed away in 2017, the band has continued strong through the years, touring with a rotating cast of singers including Michael Crenshaw, Wesley Stace (from the band John Wesley Harding), John Cowsill and Robin Wilson (Gin Blossoms).
