'An intimate and obsessive book, but one not only for the fans: this is a story about fresh starts and second chances and how to navigate them as an adult' Mariana Enriquez
'Rodge has been absolutely brilliant. He's a big fan but not too close. He was very much a fly on the wall' Brett Anderson
'The candid biography of Suede we've all been waiting for' Steve Lamacq
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?

Recenzii
'An intimate and obsessive book, but one not only for the fans: this is a story about fresh starts and second chances and how to navigate them as an adult'
'Rodge has been absolutely brilliant. He's a big fan but not too close. He was very much a fly on the wall'
'The candid biography of Suede we've all been waiting for'
'As One is truly phenomenal. Rodge tells an incredible story of Suede's second chapter , which takes in celebration, confusion and above all vindication. It will also be an invaluable research tool for a certain Suede podcast!'
'This isn’t another Britpop book – it's a book about how Suede have rebuilt themselves. It’s obviously for Suede fans but it’s also for any music fan. It looks at the highs and lows of being in a band, of creativity, of ageing. The book concentrates on the recent albums and after reading it I just had to go back and listen to them again, it became a new listening experience for me. Fantastic!'
'As One documents with great care and exacting detail how Suede restored themselves from the margins'
'As One is brilliant. Truly, a great examination of a very rare musical event that makes me cherish what Suede have managed to do all the more'
'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'
'From the off, it’s clear from Glass’ forensic analysis of his intimate access to the band that the post-reformation era has not always been easy going. He’s no mere observer in studio and writing sessions, at soundchecks, gigs and aftershows, but a skilled (psycho)analyst …Very little seems to have been off limits, giving As One a dramatic arc quite unusual in music biographies that tend to pick over the bones of a band’s corpse rather than witness internal debates on how best to perform surgery on and maintain a still-living entity’
'Rodge Glass’s As One: Remaking Suede is the biography many fans didn’t know they needed: not another chronicle of Britpop-era glory, but a clear-eyed account of how Suede rebuilt themselves after breakup and emerged with some of their finest work ... Less nostalgia trip, more a masterclass in artistic renewal'
