Menswear

Menswear (sometimes styled Menswe@r) were a Britpop band formed in October 1994 from Camden in London. They released a number of singles and an album, Nuisance, on the short-lived London Records subsidiary Laurel. A second album followed, which was released only in Japan; the group broke up in 1998. Menswear, made up of a new line-up in addition to frontman Johnny Dean, played their first show in 15 years in August 2013.
According to AllMusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Menswear met with numerous detractors, being "charming, handsome young men that wanted to be in a pop group more than they wanted to play music". They nevertheless became "one of the most popular Brit-pop bands of 1995"
==Links to Peel==
Peel played tracks from the band in 1995, including a session they recorded for his programme during that year. After the popularity of britpop, the band were never revisited by the DJ on his radio programmes.
