The debut Suede album didn’t want a scrap with the Northern alleged hard bastards or mix with The Mixer crowd in Camden. They created a sound which still hits you in the gut today. Butler’s guitar sound is revered everywhere to this day and Anderson, although called a Bowie copiest with his gender flirting and arse slapping on stage like a Morrissey without the daffs and hearing aid was a commanding force. The outsiders inside have come up trumps recently with the amazing Autofiction reviewed here by Ged Babey which easily matches their debut and confirms Suede as one our best British bands ever. London was a touchstone for everyone in the band, so the album became about us being placed in this city of sex, drugs and poverty after living in these suburban satellite towns. London is full of a certain kind of arts professional—people in bands whose parents bought them guitars when they were 12 and went to state school. The sense in all of us was that we wanted to get revenge on all that as the underclass outsider punks. We wanted Suede to be a pop record in the way that The Pretenders' "Stop Your Sobbing" is a pop record."
