“A warm and engaging memoir” Guardian“A beautifully told odyssey” Daily Express“A brilliant book” Mark Ellen, Word in Your EarThe long overdue reflection of life in The Smiths from their legendary drummer.

As a band, the Smiths need no introduction. Formed in 1982 and disbanded in 1987, all four of their studio albums reached the top five in the UK charts. They are widely lauded as one of the most influential groups of all time.

Mike is the last member of the band to release their autobiography and this is his no-holds-barred story of what it was like to play the drums in the Smiths. Throughout his honest and witty reflections, Mike answers the question he and bassist Andy Rourke used to often ask each other: ‘Where did it all go right?’A lot of the Smiths’ past is already canonised. Rather than retelling those well-documented iconic moments, in The Drums, Mike conveys ‘the feeling’ of his time in the band. His off-piste, frank and witty perspective allows him to re-contextualise fan favourite moments through a beautifully vulnerable, human insight into his life.

The written history of the Smiths is not missing an encyclopedic account of everything that happened over the years; but Mike’s honest, entertaining and deeply human memoir is what Smiths fans have been waiting for. This book truly conveys what it felt like to be a member of the Smiths.

In The Drums, Mike Joyce finally gives us the perspective of the self-confessed biggest Smiths fan in the world who from the start was just some lad from the suburbs of Fallowfield who played the drums.

I feel I’m walking on clouds
Size: 10, Color: Brown
I’m on my feet 6–8 hours a day working at the dealership, constantly walking the lot and helping customers—and I’ve gone through a lot of shoes trying to find something that actually holds up. These Bruno Marc MaxFlex Dress Sneakers honestly surprised me. They look sharp and professional enough for work, but feel more like a comfortable athletic shoe than a stiff dress shoe. From day one, there was no break-in period, no soreness, just all-day comfort. I feel I’m walking on clouds! If you’re in a job where you’re standing or moving around a lot but still need to look polished, these are hands down the most comfortable work shoes I’ve owned.

Great shoes
Size: 10 Wide, Color: Brown, Size: 10 Wide, Color: Brown
This shoe is incredibly comfortable and durable. I work in custodial work as management. However, sometimes I have to help my team when we are low manned. Just recently I had to help my team auto scrub a restroom. My shoes felt lightweight and were completely easy to clean. I was worried I would be slipping on sudsy water. To my surprise, these shoes gripped on to the floor nicely. I love the versatility of having a working shoe with the great style Bruno Marc provides. The shoe is breathable and true to size. I ordered the black pair as well and have had them for about 3 months. Highly recommend these amazing shoes.

Great quality.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Bought these shoes at the last minute for my husband to wear to an event. They arrived overnight and did not disappoint. They are true to size, high quality, lightweight, and they look great on. Can be worn with jeans to a casual event or with slacks to a more formal event . He loves them and said they are extremely comfortable.
