Suede frontman Brett Anderson has spoken about the band’s place in Britpop, and how it was 'the last big movement in guitar music'.
Anderson, who has just been awarded the ‘Godlike Genius Award’ as part of NME’s 2015 Awards has given a recent interview to the magazine discussing why Britpop is so loved.
"I think people are still really fascinated in Britpop, because you look at it culturally, and it was still the last big movement in guitar music," he said. "It was the last time guitar music was a real force.”
Suede of course, had taken a slight break since the demise of Britpop, releasing their first album in ten years in 2013, entitled Bloodsports. Anderson spoke about their reformation and Bloodsports stating: “I felt, before we reformed, that we’d gone off the radar a bit. And when we got back together we reminded people of what we did really well… It’s very hard doing a comeback album when you haven’t made an LP for 10 years - because you can’t reinvent yourself - you have to look at what you’ve done best and solidify that.”
Suede will perform live at the NME Awards 2015 with Austin, Texas. The awards ceremony will take place on February 18 at O2 Brixton Academy. Other performers include Run The Jewels, The Vaccines and Royal Blood.
