Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
They were known as the Only Band That Mattered
Lyrics
Do you remember the mid-seventies? Prog-rock, crooners and disco cheese! The Riot City Rockers crashed in one day, Bringing us anthems from the Westway. Well we didn't even know where the Westway was But we sang about it anyway, just beacause, Just because of those seditionists In the musical wasteland of '76. Rude Boy! What you gonna do? Nobody could ever overtake you. Joe and Topper and Mick and Paul, You were the best group of them all. And now it's all over, Joe has gone. Still got the power - thirty years on. Even the mainstream had you sell Designer labels for their clientele. Do you remember what punk rock means, Wasting your time with the Libertines? We stayed with you, stand or fall, And we'll still answer that London call! Rude Boy! Joe and Topper and Mick and Paul, You were the best group of them all.
