TV SMITH'S THE ADVERTS
TV Smith was founder member, singer and songwriter for the Adverts, who formed in late 1976, and were one of the leading bands in the first wave of British punk rock.
In early 1977, they performed regularly at the newly-opened Roxy Club in London, and gained cult success with the Stiff Records single "One Chord Wonders." Their next release, "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" became a hit record, leading to radio and TV appearances and extensive media interest. A further single, “No Time To Be 21,” also entered the charts, and the band spent the rest of the year playing live, including major tours with The Damned and Iggy Pop. The album that followed in early 1978, "Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts," is still considered a genuine classic of the era and is often cited as one of the twenty best punk albums ever released.
As live music finally started up again in 2022 after the initial landing of the Coronavirus, TV wasted no time in getting back to work. As well as numerous solo club dates, he supported on major tours with Stiff Little Fingers, the Damned and Ruts DC, and continued into 2023 with more touring in the UK, Europe, and the U.S.A.
From time to time he gathers a crack team of fellow musicians around him to tour with a full band, as TV Smith’s Adverts in the U.S.A.
