Coming a year on from the bands debut, Meat Is Murder showed the band moving its musical might to a muscular new sound (whilst still maintaining its ability to produce heart-breaking beautiful songs). The Smyths presents Meat is Murder a show that will celebrate the album alongside a full collection of classic hits and more from The Smiths.
