When they appeared on the British rock scene in the early 1990sâ€”a bastard fusion of the Smiths and Ziggy Stardustâ€”some calledÂ them â€œThe Best New Band in Britain.â€ At the time, the groupâ€”based around flamboyant vocalist Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Butlerâ€”hadnâ€™t released one note of music. What followed was an eponymous album that was to become the fastestâ€“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 bandâ€™s decision to split and Brettâ€™s new solo ventures, ,Suede: Love and Poison, traces the scarcely credible story of a band that went to hell and back.
