Puzzlecore Tuesday

The tracks posted next Tuesday will be the answers to the following clues. This is a game I used to play to while away the long, dull hours when a pot-wash aged 15. Each is a cryptic clue to the band name. With either each word representing a similar or opposite word in the band name, or the clue being a more general cryptic clue. Which sounds more dull than it is. Promise. Answers in the comments section, please.

1 - Envious Suede
2 - Senior Girls
3 - Contraception National (clue: West Midlands band)
