Back in their heyday in 1996, Suede was a true gang, who fought against the rest of the world. A band of outsiders for outsiders. This cover from French mag L'Indie illustrates that very nicely. The gang/band looking deadly serious waiting for their enemy to arrive. Only, they look too delicate to really get into a fight.
Coming Up, that was about to be released, is reviewed. The reviewer sees Coming Up as Suede's last chance. En deça du succès planétaire, le groupe en aura fini de jouer dans la cour des grands. How they grabbed that chance.
