Suede frontman Brett Anderson has revealed that the recently reunited band is back in the studio and recording songs inspired by early 80s tunes.

Seven years after they originally disbanded, Suede came together again for a series of reunion shows last year. The group previously said that they had no plans to write new material, but Brett Anderson has confirmed that they are indeed writing again.

He said to Q Magazine: "We have started to write. It's early days but it's sounding interesting - we've been listening to alternative music from the early 80s that's filtering through."

However, the singer also told fans not to hold their breath over the new material, saying that it may not even be released.

He explained: "It's absolutely true that it might not be released. We don't have any record companies banging on the table saying, 'We must put a record out next March' or something like that.

"We're literally doing it for our own pleasure and we're writing for fun. If it turns out, great, then people hear it. If it doesn't, there's no desire to release a sub-standard Suede record just because we feel like we should release one. I'm not sure it'd leave the legacy intact."
