Marr Attacks

Inside ex-Smith Johnny Marr's new band, the Healers

Especially at this point in his life, Marr's muse has led him into a particularly spiritual place. After all, any band named the Healers certainly evokes some degree of mysticism; the band's name is taken from The Secret Doctrine by 19th-century occultist Madame Blavatsky, who is credited with being the first person to introduce Eastern thought and philosophy to the West.

Marr continues to learn lessons from listening and playing with sound. "Whether you're in a band or whatever walk of life you want to get into that's creative, you get out of it what you put into it...You've got to really believe in it and have a passion for it, and if you do have those things, then when the consequences of it come along, whether it's the rip-offs or the disillusionment, or things that come your way, they're worth it."
