Suede, known as The London Suede in the United States, is an English rock band formed in London in 1989 by singer Brett Anderson, guitarist Justine Frischmann, and bassist Mat Osman. Drawing on glam rock and post-punk influences, the band gained early attention from the British music press and were labelled "The Best New Band in Britain" by Melody Maker in 1992. Their debut album, "Suede" (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the fastest-selling debut album in nearly a decade. It won the Mercury Music Prize and was influential in the development of the Britpop movement, though the band distanced themselves from the label. The recording of their second album, "Dog Man Star" (1994), was marked by internal tensions, culminating in the departure of guitarist and songwriter Bernard Butler, who was replaced by Richard Oakes before the supporting tour. Though initially a commercial disappointment, the album received positive critical reassessment over time and is regarded as a significant rock record. In 1994, Suede was recognised as part of Britpop's "big four," alongside Oasis, Blur, and Pulp. Following the addition of keyboardist Neil Codling, Suede achieved increased commercial success with "Coming Up" (1996), which reached number one in the UK, produced five top ten singles, and became the band's best-selling album worldwide. Their fourth album, "Head Music" (1999), also topped the UK charts but received mixed critical and fan responses. Codling left the band in 2001 due to chronic fatigue syndrome and was replaced by Alex Lee. The fifth album, "A New Morning" (2002), released after the collapse of Nude Records, was met with limited commercial and critical success, leading to the band's disbandment in 2003. Anderson briefly reunited with Butler in 2004 to form The Tears before pursuing a solo career. Suede reunited in 2010 for a series of concerts and released their sixth album, "Bloodsports" (2013), which received positive reviews and returned the band to the UK top ten. Their seventh album, "Night Thoughts" (2016), achieved further critical and commercial success. The eighth studio album, "The Blue Hour" (2018), became their first top-five album since "Head Music." Their ninth studio album, "Autofiction," was released in September 2022, followed by their tenth album, "Antidepressants," in September 2025.
