The Smithereens, born out of New Jersey in the late '80s, mixed heavy guitars with British Invasion pop. Known for hits "A Girl Like You" and "Too Much Passion," they gained a cult following. Lead singer Pat DiNizio's haunting lyrics and catchy hooks stood out. Collaborated with Otis Blackwell and the Beau Brummels, signed with Enigma, and later Capitol. Their debut, "Especially for You," featured MTV's "Blood and Roses," leading to chart success. After DiNizio's 2017 death, they continued performing with guest vocalists, earning a spot in the New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2019.
