About this album
11 is The Smithereens at their most focused, pairing hard-edged guitars with classic pop craft. Released in 1989, the album reinforced the New Jersey band’s reputation for sturdy hooks, concise arrangements and a radio-ready sound rooted in alternative rock and power pop. Produced with a polished but punchy approach, it features one of their best-known songs, “A Girl Like You”, alongside material that balances melancholy and momentum. As a late-’80s rock record, 11 helped keep melody central in a guitar-driven era and remains a strong statement of the band’s songwriting identity.
