They are indeed- formed in New Jersey in 1980 by Pat DiNizio (vocals), Jim Babjak (guitar), Mike Mesaros (bass, later replaced by Severino Jornacion) and Dennis Diken (drums), according to a blurb on the Net. Their original albums are the 'Girls About Town' EP (1980), 'Beauty And Sadness' (1983), ' 11' ( 1989), 'Blow Up' (1991), ' A Date With The Smithereens' (1994) and 'God Save The Smithereens' (1999) as well as a 2007 Christmas album, and tribute compilations ' Meet The Smithereens!' (2007), ' B-Sides The Beatles' (2008) and their most recent release ' The Smithereens Play Tommy'.
And there are also several compilation/ live albums doing the rounds if you're interested at all!
