Racier English Britpop band covers (5)
I believe the answer is:
bluer
'racier' is the definition.
('blue' can be a synonym of 'racy')
'english britpop band covers' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'english' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'band' could be 'blur' (English band) and 'blur' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bluer that I've seen before include "More racy" , "Wastrel" , "bawdier" , "less in the red?" , "More conservative" .)
