Featuring

Suede

Suede kick-started the Brit pop revolution of the '90s, bringing English indie pop/rock music away from the swirling layers of shoegazing and dance-pop fusions of Madchester, and reinstating such conventions of British pop as mystique and the three-minute single. Nearly three decades later, during which they had a 7 year hiatus, Suede are as formdiable as ever in spite of their advancing years.
