I was on the She Wants Revenge site checking out their bio since I'm really getting into 'em. I was reading the interview in their bio section when I came across this Smiths reference that Justin makes about crafting music;
Justin, who until now has been meticulously applying a She Wants Revenge Sticker to the table at which we're sitting, suddenly speaks up. "Yeah, and there's a hundred bands doing mediocre period/ genre music, but none of it makes me feel like I did when I was a kid [sitting] in my room listening to The Queen is Dead or Purple Rain on the record player. It's easy to capture the style of the music, but writing songs that speak to people is a very different thing."
The man speaks the truth. If you haven't heard SWR check 'em out.

Two completely different styles of music, but both equally enjoyable. Glad to know, the Moz/Smiths influence continues.
