Publication date 27th August 2026.

 

Hardback 352 pages.

 

The official, intimate and candid biography charting the second act of Suede during their remarkable second act. This year will mark thirty-three years since Suede released their debut eponymous album and sixteen since their glorious and unexpected comeback in 2010. Their two most recent albums - Autofiction in 2022 and Antidepressants in 2025 - both reached number two in the UK charts.

 

Based on exclusive and extensive interviews with the band, their family and friends, As One is an intimate and candid biography of one of the UK’s biggest band’s during the unlikely second act of a career that spans four decades. It is a book that studies the band from close up and afar, written by award-winning author Rodge Glass, who has been granted unprecedented access to the members at home, on stage, backstage, in the studio, rehearsing and promoting over the past three years. It is an honest, long-term interrogation of what it is really like to be in Suede.

 

The book asks difficult questions about how great bands survive and thrive over time, many years after their first flush of success. How do you build back up from nothing? How do you reconnect with your audience, while avoiding simply rehashing old ideas? How do relationships in a band change with time? How do you remake Suede?
