  Episode 81 - As One with Rodge Glass

  Sep 3, 20261h 12m

  Award-winning writer Rodge Glass was granted unprecedented access to Suede at home, backstage, in rehearsal and in the studio, to write As One , an intimate biography of the band. 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. We caught up with Rodge to talk about how he approached writing the book and his time with the Band. The book is published by New Modern and is out in all good bookshops now, well worth a purchase.
