Under the Radar Issue 75 (April/May/June 2026) Pulp/Suede

Note: The Pulp cover is on the front, the Suede cover is on the back.

Pulp - Lily Moayeri spoke to all four core members of Pulp—Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Nick Banks, and Mark Webber—about being one of the reluctant figureheads of the Britpop movement, their classic ’90s albums and songs, the 2023 passing of Pulp bassist Steve Mackey, and their remarkable 2025 comeback album, More, their first new album in 24 years.

Suede - For our other cover story, Celine Teo-Blockey spoke to Suede’s Brett Anderson and Mat Osman about helping to launch Britpop and then quickly distancing themselves from it, their iconic ’90s albums, the tortuous recording of their 1994 masterpiece Dog Man Star, and how they’ve remained vital three decades later with acclaimed new albums, such as 2025’s Antidepressants.

Detection - The front-of-book Detection section features interviews with the following about their latest albums: Dry Cleaning, MEMORIALS, Ratboys, and The Twilight Sad.

The ’90s - The majority of Issue 75 is focused on the 1990s. It includes new interviews with musicians about their classic albums from that decade (and sometimes also about their current albums), including with Air, Arrested Development, De La Soul, The Divine Comedy, Garbage, Heatmiser (Elliott Smith’s early band), Sarah McLachlan, Rialto, Spacehog, and Slint. We also spoke to Miki Berenyi Trio, which is led by the former singer/guitarist in ’90s shoegazers Lush. Plus Sharon Van Etten discusses one of her favorite ’90s movies, Empire Records.

Top 300 Albums of the 1990s - We spent over a year, on and off, compiling our first ever list of the best albums of the 1990s. There was much debate and multiple ballots and we settled on our Top 300, with our contributors writing new blurbs on each of the Top 100 in this 14-page section.

The End - For our regular last page feature, The End, we ask a different artist the same set of questions about endings and death. Sarah Cracknell of Saint Etienne (who also made their mark in the ’90s) is this issue’s participant.
