Justine Frischmann and Brett Anderson dated for a time while attending University College London. They also co-founded the band Suede with friend Mat Osman. The relationship between the two didn't last, but the band did though it struggled early on to garner much attention from record labels. Their "unclassifiable" sound neither fit with the popular UK Madchester scene or the burgeoning US grunge scene. While the band was floundering, Justine started dating Blur frontman Damon Albarn. According to Brett, she started missing practices and annoying band mates with her experiences with the more successful band. Pushed to the end of his patience, Brett kicked Justine out of the band.
After the event, things finally started to go right for Suede. Most importantly, their live performances garnered media attention; so much so that Melody Maker featured them as "The Best New Band in Britain". This pronouncement coincided with Suede's signing with Nude Records in early 1992. Suede's sound even found classification as it kicked off the UK Britpop movement, solidified with the release of their debut album Suede in 1993.
