Suburban Rock 'n' Roll

Suburban Rock 'n' Roll is the third studio album (fourth counting the then-unreleased Love You More than Football) by Space, released on 8 March 2004. It is their first proper album release since 1998's Tin Planet. The tracks "Zombies", "Suburban Rock 'N' Roll" and "20 Million Miles from Earth" were released as singles, all of them failing to reach top 40.

On Suburban Rock 'n' Roll Space sought to move away from the lush, elaborate pop sound of their two previous albums, Tin Planet and Love You More than Football, adopting a more stripped back, sample-driven style. Frontman Tommy Scott's lyrics also marked a shift from his previous character-based storytelling towards more socially conscious themes, expressing anxieties towards suburbia and the growing influence of surveillance culture. The album also reunited the band with producer Stephen Lironi, who previously worked on their debut album Spiders. Suburban Rock 'n' Roll is the first Space album with no instrumentals from keyboardist Franny Griffiths, reflecting the band's decision to create a more cohesive listening experience.

Upon its release, Suburban Rock ’n’ Roll received mixed reviews from critics: some praised its more mature sound and thematic depth, while others viewed it as a disappointing return and questioned the band’s relevance in the contemporary music scene. Despite this, the album was generally well received by fans and has been cited by members of Space as a personal favourite. The band disbanded in 2005, a year after its release.
