Before the Gallagher brothers began to compose and more or less at the same time as Blur, Suede appeared on the scene starting the first chords of what would be a meteoric career. The London band helped shape the sound that would later come to be known as Britpop. But Suede brought something more: drama, darkness, a glam-like elegance. And since its formation in 1989 until today, separation and reunion through, a dozen studio albums and a last album to be presented on March 23, 2026 at La Riviera in Madrid.
Their eponymous debut was in 1993. The album Suede was an immediate phenomenon and received the Mercury Prize. Songs like Animal Nitrate became the hallmark of the band, their style and their imprint. But it was with Dog Man Star (1994) and Coming Up ( 1996) that they consolidated their own sound: melancholic but energetic, sexy but cerebral. Suede have something of Bowie (don’t you find their voice breaks in Brett Anderson at times?) and a lot of Suede: glam rock, Britpop, a certain existential angst but also optimism in their lyrics.
The new album, Antidepressants, is an inheritance of the previous one (Autofiction) bordering on post punk and with a rawness, darkness and viscerality, only surpassed by the current social moment. We will know how it sounds live welcoming the spring of next year.
