Suede是一支英国摇滚乐队，乐队成立于****年。乐队早起由主唱Brett Anderson、吉他手Bernard Butler、贝斯手Mat Osman、鼓手Simon Gilbert所组成。1992年Suede乐队被认为是英国最好的乐队，吸引了音乐界的注意。1993年他们的首张专辑《Suede》就成为排行榜第一，成为近十年内最畅销的处女专辑，并赢得了英国水星音乐大奖，推动了英式摇滚运动的发展。但是从Suede的第二张豪华专辑《Dog Man Star (1994)》，可以看出乐队刻意与同时代的其他的英式摇滚乐队保持距离。虽然《Dog Man Star (1994)》被认为是Suede的杰作之一，但是录制过程却充满困难，吉他手Butler与主唱Anderson的争吵不断升级，最终Butler离开了乐队。

Suede /ˈsweɪd/ is a type of leather with a napped finish, commonly used for jackets, shoes, shirts, purses, furniture and other items. The term comes from the French "gants de Suède", which literally means "gloves from Sweden".

Suede leather is made from the underside of the skin, primarily lamb, although goat, calf and deer are commonly used. Splits from thick hides of cow and deer are also sueded, but, due to the fiber content, have a shaggy nap. Because suede does not include the tough exterior skin layer, suede is less durable but softer than standard ("full-grain") leather. Its softness, thinness, and pliability make it suitable for clothing and delicate uses; suede was originally used for women's gloves. Suede leather is also popular in upholstery, shoes, bags, and other accessories, and as a lining for other leather products. Due to its textured nature and open pores, suede may become dirty and quickly absorb liquids.
