Review: Suede's 'The Wild Ones', released as a single in November 1994, is widely regarded as a defining moment in the band's career. Featured on Dog Man Star, the track shows Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler at their creative peak, with Anderson often calling it his favorite Suede song. The haunting ballad stands out for its atmospheric, semi-acoustic production, enhanced by delicate orchestration, giving the song a timeless, melancholic feel. Anderson's emotive vocal delivery complements the lush arrangement, creating a poignant reflection on lost love. The B-side, 'Modern Boys', adds further value to the single, despite not making the final Dog Man Star tracklist. 'The Wild Ones' remains one of Suede's most cherished songs, capturing a pivotal moment of artistic evolution for the band.
Review: Hyped at the time as 'the Suede record Brett Anderson raps on' - in fact, it's more of a spoken word monologue - 'Stay Together' followed the Britpop instigators' hugely successful Dog Man Star debut album and pointed the way forward for future experimentation away from their core Bowie/glam flash rock. It remains their highest charting single having peaked at number three in the UK charts (an honour it shares with 'Trash') and here, part of Demon's Suede singles reissue campaign, comes backed another non album track 'The Living Dead'.
Review: As part of a comprehensive reissue of Suede's early singles and albums - the songs which earned them the early 90s limelight - comes this reissued 7" picture-disc version of 'So Young' and 'High Rising'. Both featuring on the self-titled debut from 1993, these were but two of the tracks that contributed to Suede's rise to stardom, and which help to cement their impressive selling of 100,000 copies in their first week. Foreboding a full, newly-mastered edition of the album, these two throwbacks are a reminder of what makes a band great in its early incarnation.
