Coming Up

Product Information

JS: I’ve written a book about Coming Up which is intended for publication late spring next year to coincide with Suede’s Coming Up European tour. It features interviews with Brett and the band, plus producer Ed Buller and all the other main protagonists in the drama. And it was very much a drama. The book also features amusing ‘behind the scenes’ stories involving the band – and, more often than not, me and the band – throughout that period. It is also a personal journey into the heart of an album that I love, if not unconditionally, then as a piece of work that has ultimately survived the ravages of time, and the brutish, nasty and not so short nature of the media scrutiny that had threatened to confine the band to the dustbin of history. Putting all the studio recordings together and just forgetting about everything else is an astute move on the part of the record company and is a true and concise representation of what Suede were up to at the height of Britpop.

Arguably the last classic Suede album, Coming Up might not be the connoisseurs choice, but if you want to shake your bits to the hits, look no further. Through the end of 1991 and early 1992, Suede received a number of favourable mentions in the music press, receiving slots at shows hosted by NME and attended by significant musical figures such as the former Smiths singer, Morrissey. A gig at the ULU in October 1991, which caught the media's attention, was Frischmann's final gig. [18] John Mulvey of the NME, the journalist who first wrote about Suede was there. He said, "They had charm, aggression, and... if not exactly eroticism, then something a little bit dangerous and exciting."

Dog Man Star had been a relative commercial failure, and Bernard Butler had gone, so freshly recruited band members Richard Oakes and Neil Codling (drummer Simon Gilbert’s cousin) completed the new version of the band.

LTW: Britpop was, to my mind, a really positive, exciting time to be a music fan and to be living in the UK. However, in recent years I have seen it reframed more negatively as overly nationalistic, misogynistic and even classist. Do you see any truth in the claims with hindsight, or does it feel like the past is being redrawn unfairly? Caulfield, Keith (26 September 2008). "Ask Billboard: Blue Suede Shoes". Billboard.

Inspired by James's performance as support on that earlier Meat Is Murder tour, Morrissey's decision to promote the repertoire of a new, up and coming band would set a precedent he'd return to in his solo career (championing Bradford's "Skin Storm" and Suede's "My Insatiable One"). A vaguely ‘Bond theme’ vibe, if Bond themes wore DMs and had a glue habit. What it loses for attempting to rhyme ‘killer’ with ‘pillow’, it more than makes up for in camp thuggery and sheer verve. After peaking in 1995, Britpop entered a strangely quiet state of commercial limbo beginning in 1996. The critical disaster of Oasis' Be Here Now was still a year away, but Oasis, Blur, and Pulp all failed to release a studio album during the calendar year and all eventually proved to be beyond their prime. Enter Suede, who had just parted ways with lead guitarist Bernard Butler and were reeling from the disappointing sales of (the now-revered) Dog Man Star. Yet despite having better reasons to fade away than any of Britpop's "Big Four", Suede somehow managed to deliver 1996's most successful Britpop album with Coming Up. Well-deserved success that earned the band their second #1 album over in the UK, even if the subsequent twenty years have been less kind to Coming Up than to either Suede or Dog Man Star.Simons, Ted (9 June 1993).
