Bloodsports- Suede

The new comeback album by Suede is out. If you read this Blog you will already know that I am a big fan of Suede. 

Bands reforming and making new material have become a commonplace thing  over the last few years. Not very rock n roll, but then again bands ( e.g. The Wedding Present, The Fall etc.) hanging around for 25 plus years isn't very rock n roll either. I mean in my younger Punk days I used to mock bands like  Status Quo because they were old and had been around for years doing the same thing.

Times and perspectives have changed now that I  am 52.

Anyway this new Suede album is everything you would want from the band. Great sound, slightly surreal and sleazy lyrics and Brett's Bowie- like vocals. It Starts and Ends With You is my favourite song but there is some really good stuff on this album.

If they tour I am going this time- definitely.
