The Smiths vs. The Housemartins

The other day I was driving in the mountains and had the thought to put in the Housemartins. It’s been a while since I had played their tunes so my perspective was fresh. Their sound has obvious similarities to the Smiths. The Housemartins are really the Smiths if Morrissey took a Prozac. The Smiths have superior talent but if you are in a mood for upbeat lyrics give the Housemartins a try.
