Biography

There are at least two artists which have used this name
1. A popular alternative rock band from the United Kingdom
2. A lounge singer from the United States

1. Suede (or The London Suede in the United States, although they were often called by their original name by fans in that country) are an English rock band of the 1990s and early 2000s that helped start the Britpop musical movement. Through their several incarnations, they were able to consistently put out albums that charted well, while still holding the respect of critics. Though they never achieved great success in North America, they were considered by some to be as big in the UK in the 90s (at least in terms of popularity) as The Smiths were in the 80s, or Roxy Music in the 70s.

Suede were formed in London in 1989 by bassist Mat Osman, singer Brett Anderson and his then girlfriend, Justine Frischmann, on rhythm guitar. They soon added guitarist Bernard Butler – who was recruited through an advertisement in Melody Maker. Along with a drum machine as percussion, Suede were signed to RML Records, a label from Brighton. Comedian Ricky Gervais (who later found fame with The Office) managed the band for a brief period before they were signed to a record label.

With Mike Joyce (formerly of The Smiths) famously filling in as drummer, Suede’s first record “Be My God/Art”, was printed but never released due to a dispute with the label.

    The final 3 songs are rather ineffectual, but then again, all of Suede's albums have been front-loaded post-Butler. BS amounts to a slightly lesser version of Coming Up, which is an album that's probably more front loaded (and uneven) than BS, but has better highlights. BS isn't really an incredibly essential listen, as if anything, it serves its purpose to close Suede's career in a respectable manner (not be Head Music or Morning). A good, short album that explores relationships. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I feel like the second part of Bloodsports is pretty weak.. Album is okay overall, it has some great stuff, Hit Me, Barriers or It Starts And Ends With You but it lacks some peaceful and beautiful tunes such as Saturday Night, Down, The Wild Ones or even When The Rain Falls. Last songs on the album simply don't hit me ;)

    Indeed, Suede was a huge band due to their first three albums (Dog Man Star was one of the best albums/if not the best in the 90s/ but unfortunately Head Music and especially A New Morning were crap. Actually I have not listened to Bloodsport yet and probably will not do it because It Starts And Begins With You was lame. I am just afraid of wasting my time (rather I am going to listen to their old ones). Despite these facts Suede changed my attitude to music and later introduced me to a bigger one, The Smiths.
