Suede are an English alternative rock band.

By 1992, Suede were hailed as "The Best New Band inBritain", and attracted much attention from the British music press. The following year their glam rock-inspired debut album, Suede, went to thetop of the charts and became the fastest-selling debut album in almost ten years, helping kick-start the Britpop movement. However, theband's lush follow-up, Dog Man Star (1994), saw Suede distance themselves from their Britpop peers. Although it is often regarded as theband's masterpiece, the recording sessions for Dog Man Star were fraught with difficulty, and ended with Butler departing the band after heatedarguments with Anderson.In 1996 following the recruitment of Richard Oakes and later keyboardist Neil Codling, Suede went on to greater commercial success withComing Up. The album charted at number one in the UK, producing five top ten singles and became their biggest-selling album worldwide. Afterthe release of the B-sides compilation Sci-Fi Lullabies in 1997, Anderson became addicted to crack and heroin. Despite problems within theband, Suede's fourth album Head Music (1999) was a British chart-topper. Suede's final album, A New Morning (2002), their first after thecollapse of Nude Records, was a commercial disappointment. In 2003, after the release of the Singles compilation, Suede disbanded. Aftermuch speculation Suede reformed in 2010 for a series of concerts.
