Menswear,有时也被称为Menswe@r,一支来自英国伦敦砍登镇的英伦摇滚乐队,增短暂活跃于1994年至1998年,又在2013至2015年间进行过演出
主唱:Johnny Dean
吉他:Chris Gentry&Simon White
贝斯:Stuart Black
鼓:Matt Everitt
Menswear在小舞台上崭露头角时就已备受唱片公司追捧,他们仅在第五次gig后就被London Records签下。
他们的音乐受到Blur与Elastica的影响,首张专辑《Nuisance》为Menswear带来了更多赞誉与演出机会,而单曲《We Love You》则标志着他们音乐方向的转变。在发行了第二张专辑《Hay Tiempo!》后,Menswear与公司Laurel解约。后来主唱Johnny Dean被诊断为阿斯伯格综合征,与他的新乐队也参加了一系列慈善演出。
与乐迷的期待相悖的是,乐队已于2016年在推特上宣布不会再有Menswear。或许你又看到他们2020年似乎有些动静,甚至发行了box合集,但是Dean否认了新的Menswear
Menswear were a much-hyped mid-'90s Britpop group founded in 1994 in Camden Town, London and disbanded in 1998. They infamously received a great deal of press and record label interest before recording a single note.
Original Members: Johnny Dean - vocals, backing vocals, percussion; Simon White - electric guitar, backing vocals; Chris Gentry - electric and acoustic guitars; Stuart Black - bass, acoustic guitar; Matt Everitt - drums, percussion
The group's ballyhooed debut album "Nuisance" was released in 1995. The album yielded five singles ("I'll Manage Somehow", "Sleeping In", "Daydreamer", "Stardust", "Being Brave"), all with multiple b-sides. After one non-album single, "We Love You", was issued in 1996, the mostly-forgotten second album, "¡Hay Tiempo!", was released only in Japan in 1998.
In 2013, Johnny Dean reconvened the group with all new members and they released the single "Crash '14", a rerecording of an old Menswear song. The group continues to tour.
