Mainstream were a British shoegazer band, briefly famous in the late 1990s. They were signed to Suede's label Nude Records in early 1995 and produced one album (also called Mainstream) in 1998.

The band comprised of Anthony Neale (voice), James Hartnell (guitars), Conrad Mewton (bass), Greg Cook (keyboards) and Mark Aviss (drums).

Unfortunately, despite having been renowned for their live performances, the album failed to chart anywhere and the group split up shortly afterwards.

However the album appears to be still in print and selling to this day (as of October 2007 it was possible to find the album on the shelf in both the Virgin Megastore and the HMV on London's Oxford Street and it remains available from several on-line stores). Also in 2006 a myspace page was created for the band, although this only contains information about their prior career, and does not indicate either that the band have reformed or are planning to do so.
