Suede: Brixton Academy, London
Paul Lester, Melody Maker, 22 May 1993
THIS IS happening with our permission. We wanted it to happen. We virtually willed it to happen. Suede are this season's singing saviours because we needed them, urgently, desperately. They filled a gap, catered to a demand. What does it take to turn us on? Suede, it would seem, almost exclusively so.
