He first achieved fame in 1992 as the guitarist with Suede, at the time an instant phenomenon in UK pop music. He co-wrote and played on every track until 1994, when he left Suede over personal tensions within the band during the recording of their second album, Dog Man Star.
Butler formed the duo McAlmont & Butler with David McAlmont. They released two singles, Yes and You Do. A compilation album, The Sound of McAlmont and Butler, was released after the split. Butler went on to release two albums under his own name, People Move On and Friends and Lovers, before a second McAlmont & Butler album, Bring it Back, and two singles, Falling and Bring it Back.
Since then Butler formed a new band, The Tears with former Suede cohort, Brett Anderson. They released their highly anticipated debut LP, Here Come The Tears, produced by Butler, in June 2005. Singles include Refugees, which reached #9 in the UK charts, and Lovers.
In between his own projects he has played on and produced records by Sparks, Edwyn Collins, Aimee Mann, Neneh Cherry, Tim Booth (of James), Manic Street Preachers, Eddi Reader, Hopper, Roy Orbison, Bert Jansch and The Libertines. He created the soundtrack to the 1997 film The James Gang and played on the soundtrack of Velvet Goldmine, alongside Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. He has played live with The Cranberries, Paul Weller, Teenage Fanclub and Manic Street Preachers.
He helped shape the sound of newcomer Duffy in 2008. For his production work on her debut album Rockferry, Bernard won the Producer's Award at the 2009 BRIT Awards, and Producer Of The Year at the 2008 Music Producers' Guild awards.

Bernard Butler Lyrics
A Change Of Heart A change of heart couldn't hurt nobody The way she goes…
Autograph Is the summer time nearly over Or has you warm smile…
I'm Tired I'm tired, I can't explain, All the troubled notions scrambl…
In Vain I sit on life's window. I'm not afraid to slip off…
Not Alone Should I tell you why I feel so down When all…
People Move On Go play safe, fly low. for the sake of all you…
Stay These days are wastin' away The kind I'd rather save Don't …
When You Grow When car lights flash in your face, your kind heart will…
Woman I Know Well I feel so alive, got no reason to hide, there…
You Just Know Do you believe in every breath I ever take? Do you…
You Light The Fire you light the fire and I'll bring home a smile, and…
You've Got What It Takes Rolling motor, lover sublime, push me away if you feel so…
