TV Smith<\/a> is an English punk rock singer-songwriter. He formed The Adverts<\/a> in 1976. They released two glorious albums, Crossing the Red Sea with the Adverts and Cast of Thousand before splitting\u00a0in 1979. He formed TV Smith’s Explorers<\/a> and Cheap after but neither gained the public attention The Adverts did. He has been pursuing a critically acclaimed solo career since the 1990s. He is renowned as\u00a0one of the “most talented, literate and passionate – yet curiously overlooked – songwriters to emerge from London’s vibrant ’77 new wave scene.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He joined us on Left of the Dial<\/a> to talk about his current acoustic album, forthcoming studio album, buying music and his relentless touring schedule.\u00a0<\/span>
