What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Unprecedented access to the band at home, backstage, in rehearsal and in the studio, it’s a cracking read’ * Dundee Courier *
‘Finely written, unabashedly celebratory. One of the best and most incisive titles I’ve read in recent years on what it is like to be in a band. A must buy for anyone interested in Suede’ – Alexander Larman * New York Sun *
‘The Suede reunion is recounted in blow by blow detail 4⁄5’ * Record Collector *
‘One of the biggest joys of this book is that there are always new nuggets of new information to be learned. Engrossing and enlightening. Essential, required reading’ * The Insatiable Ones, Suede fan group *
‘What a ride. Success and excess ended up devouring the band in the early 2000s. But what happened afterwards? That’s the story we havent really been told. Across almost 400 pages you’ll find all the answers. I highly recommended ordering it. Trust me you won’t regret it’ * The Mild Ones, Suede fan group *
Rodge has been absolutely brilliant. He’s a big fan but not too close. He’s a fantastic writer and he’s not from the music world which makes it much more interesting I think because it comes from a different perspective. He was very much a fly on the wall. What we did in the nineties was fantastic for the most part but I think what we’ve done since we reformed with Bloodsports onwards has been some of our best work. And for that to be documented and to be documented and to be recognised is much more interesting for me’ – Brett Anderson
