Welcome to the 21st Songs of the Week of 2022. It was terrible week for those who follow the news, fueled by the truly awful mass shooting at the elementary school in Texas. And once again the usual gun control debates came up and once again nothing will probably happen. After all, it’s been 10 years since the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and no progress has been made. Also Depeche Mode’s Andrew Fletcher and actor Ray Liotta (Goodfellas, Something Wild) both surprisingly died yesterday, even though they were both only in their 60s. More

The month of May is a busy time for UK music lovers, with so many festivals taking place over the course of its four-and-a-half weeks. However, one of the most exciting events on the festival calendar is happening in the grounds of Catton Hall, an 18th Century listed building in the Derbyshire countryside. Situated close to the border of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, it’s played host to Bearded Theory since 2014. More

In many instances an album’s strongest songs are shared before the album’s release. There were several albums released this week, however, that featured standout tracks that were not advance singles and so this week’s Songs of the Week features some of those, filtered in with other new singles released this week. More

Sep 21, 2018 By Christopher Roberts

We were in a quandary about this week’s Album of the Week. There were a multitude of solid choices and we were racked with indecision. We narrowed it down to six choices: the new albums by Beak>, Christine and the Queens, Frontperson, Richard Reed Parry, Suede, and Villagers. More

We took a break from Songs of the Week last week due to a little vacation by our publishers. So this week we are compiling the best songs of the last two weeks.

Aug 15, 2018 By Christopher Roberts

Britpop originators and survivors Suede are releasing a new album, The Blue Hour, on September 21 via Rhino.

More

Jul 13, 2018 By Christopher Roberts

Hello again. We haven’t done a Songs of the Week for almost five weeks, since June 9. We were on vacation from mid to late June and then when we returned there really weren’t enough compelling songs last week to justify doing Songs of the Week lists, mainly because of the July 4th holiday being smack dab in the middle of the week and so labels mainly avoided sharing new songs. More

Jul 13, 2018 By Christopher Roberts

Britpop originators and survivors Suede are releasing a new album, The Blue Hour, on September 21 via Rhino. Previously they shared a trailer for the album and a video for a dramatic new song, “The Invisibles” (which was our #2 Song of the Week). Now they have shared a second single from the album, “Don’t Be Afraid If Nobody Loves You,” which sounds like vintage Suede and seems to end with the sound of a teakettle whistling. More

Jun 08, 2018 By Christopher Roberts

This was a strong week for new tracks, so much so that we almost expanded this week’s Songs of the Week list to a Top 13. Instead we decided to include three honorable mentions.

The album will also have an accompanying feature film directed by Roger Sargent. They have released a teaser for the album and a trailer for the film. More

While the days of watching music videos on television are long gone, over the past several years the visual art form has certainly found second life (like so many other things) as an excellent online commodity. More

Aug 15, 2011 By Mark Redfern

Since reforming in 2010, the party line from Suede, including in our video interview with them at Coachella, was that they’d only release a new album if it felt right. The record racks are littered with unnecessary reunion albums that barely touch on a band’s former glory, so Suede have been wise in following Pixies’ model in being cautious about recording and releasing new material. More

Apr 17, 2011 By Raymond Flotat

Day two of Coachella continued day one’s comfort. Whatever advanced security they’ve implemented—or at least perhaps scalpers buying up lots of tickets that ultimately weren’t used—has helped make this year a comfortable festival again. There’s room to move around and enjoy just about every band. Even stranger, some bands that are legendary are experiencing small turnout. The only band that really drew a massive crowd was the Arcade Fire. More

Jan 21, 2011 By Laura Studarus

Last year, Suede (or The London Suede as they are forced to be named in America) reformed for a benefit show. They must have had fun—because they’ve set out again in 2011 and will also be reissuing all five of their of their albums. More

Britain’s Mercury Prize-winning Suede has announced one reunion show to benefit a London-based charity. More

Jul 16, 2013 By Frank Valish

Suede frontman Brett Anderson admits that he never thought much about reforming Suede after the band broke up in 2003. After storming onto the British music scene with its first two albums—Suede in 1993 and Dog Man Star in 1994—Suede saw founding guitarist Bernard Butler leave the band, but it soldiered on to release three more albums without him. After a brief reteaming with Butler as The Tears in 2004, Anderson embarked upon a solo career. The four albums he released under his own name, starting with a self-titled release in 2007, mostly eschewed Suede’s patented guitar rock sound for softer, gentler landscapes. Anderson seemed to have left Suede far behind. More

While backstage at the 2011 Coachella Music and Arts Festival, Under the Radar conducted video interviews with some of the fest’s most noteworthy bands. Under the Radar caught up with Suede’s Brett Anderson and Simon Gilbert. In the two-part interview they discuss the band’s relationship with America, whether or not they plan to record a new album, why they reformed, if there will be more U.S. dates in the future, and the deluxe reissues of all five of their albums.

Suede roll back the years in style for 25th anniversary celebration of “Coming Up” More

Apr 23, 2019 By Dom Gourlay

Mention the phrase “Britpop” and it’s hard not to do so through gritted teeth. Its legacy giving birth to a legion of uninspiring, feather cutted, and fishtail parka wearing lad bands believing their “real music with real instruments for real people” makes them the CAMRA of rock and roll. More

Sep 18, 2018 By Michael James Hall

With a pair of well-received, commercially viable albums in the shape of 2013’s Bloodsports and 2015’s Night Thoughts, London’s often overlooked glam antidote to Britpop have turned what looked like a brief and beautiful comeback into an ongoing concern. More

Feb 29, 2016 By Dan Lucas

There is a strange parallel between Suede and David Bowie. Both made comebacks in 2013 after decade-long absences-the former with Bloodsports, the latter with The Next Day. Both were warmly hailed as successes even if they did not have fans falling over themselves, and it felt fitting given that Suede were probably the closest thing Britpop ever had to Bowie’s androgynous outsider. More

Mar 15, 2013 By Austin Trunick

After an 11-year dearth of new material, Britpop’s pompous progenitors are back from what we’d long feared might be the musical hereafter. More

Apr 18, 2011 By Mark Redfern

Day two of Coachella 2011 offered few surprises, but plenty of solid sets, including two British bands—one reunited ‘90s legends back for another try, and the other a star-making main stage performance from a band still on their debut album. More
