Publisher's Synopsis
When they appeared on the British rock scene in the early 1990s-a bastard fusion of the Smiths and Ziggy Stardust-some called them "The Best New Band in Britain." At the time, the group-based around flamboyant vocalist Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Butler-hadn't released one note of music. What followed was an eponymous album that was to become the fastest-selling debut in British musical history, as well as a decade of narcotic excess, redemption, and fantastic pop music. Now fully updated to include the inside story of the band's decision to split and Brett's new solo ventures, Suede: Love and Poison traces the scarcely credible story of a band that went to hell and back.
