Suede

In January 1996, during the time of the live recording "By the Sea" on the 2 Meter Sessions, Suede was positioned as a leading figure in the Britpop movement. This performance occurred shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album "Dog Man Star," which debuted in 1994 and further solidified the band's status following their self-titled debut album. "Dog Man Star" showcased a more ambitious and darker sound compared to their earlier material, reflecting the band's evolution and maturing artistry. Suede faced significant challenges around this period, including lineup changes and frontman Brett Anderson's struggles with personal issues, which added depth to their performances. The 2 Meter Sessions offered a unique platform for the band to connect with their audience intimately, emphasizing the emotive quality of their music during a pivotal moment in their career.
