Viva Hate

Viva Hate is the debut solo studio album by the English singer Morrissey recorded only two months after The Smiths disbanded. It was released on 14 March 1988 by His Master's Voice, six months after the final studio album by the Smiths, Strangeways, Here We Come (1987).

Vini Reilly, the leader of the English post-punk band the Durutti Column, played guitar on the album. Producer Stephen Street, who had contributed to multiple Smiths releases, served as the bassist and wrote the music.
