As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of their iconic album Dog Man Star, Britpop legends Suede have reunited to re-release this masterpiece. Hailed as one of the biggest bands of the 90s, Suede solidified their place in music history with this record, often considered one of the greatest of its time.
Formed in London in 1989, Suede consists of lead singer Brett Anderson, guitarist Justine Frischmann, and bass player Mat Osman – who also happens to be the brother of TV personality Richard Osman. Along with Blur, Pulp, and Oasis, Suede was part of the Britpop "big four," taking the world by storm with their self-titled debut album in 1993.
But it was Dog Man Star, released the following year, that truly launched Suede as Britpop icons. Mat reflects on the evolution of their sound, saying, "Your first album is usually just songs you've been playing live for a long time. But with Dog Man Star, we pushed ourselves to see how far we could take each track. We experimented with different styles and sounds, and the result was something truly special."
The album features hit songs like "The Wild Ones," "Daddy's Speeding," and "Still Life," and now, for its 30th anniversary, fans can enjoy a three CD version that includes bonus tracks. The first CD consists of the original album, while the second CD includes rare tracks like "Killing Of A Flash Boy" and "Whipsnade." The third CD is a special treat, featuring eight bonus tracks including an orchestral version of "Still Life" and the previously unreleased "We Believe in Showbiz."
But that's not all – Suede has also released a tour film, "Killing Of A Flash Boy," which captures rare footage from their 1994 tour. This release is just one of many exciting things in store for fans, as Suede has promised more surprises leading up to the October 4th anniversary.
And the celebration doesn't stop there – Suede is currently on tour, with upcoming shows in London and Margate. Fans can expect to hear some new material as well, as the band debuted a brand new song, "Antidepressants," at the Isle of Wight festival.
As we await the release of Dog Man Star 30, let's raise a glass to 30 years of Suede and their timeless music. Cheers to many more years of success and creativity from this iconic band.
