Suffocate Me is an extended play released in 1993 by Scottish band Angelfish.[1] While not charting on any mainstream Billboard charts, "Suffocate Me" was received well on college radio, and was followed up in 1994 by the release of Angelfish's self-titled debut album.[1]
The music video for "Suffocate Me" was famously aired once by MTV during 120 Minutes, where it was seen by Garbage co-founder Steve Marker.[2] Shirley Manson was asked to join Garbage, and accepted.[3]
Both "Suffocate Me" and "You Can Love Her" would appear on the band's debut album, Angelfish, released the following year, while "Trash It" would be re-recorded and released as "Superman" on the B-side of Goodbye Mr Mackenzie's final single "The Way I Walk".
The "Suffocate Me" music video was directed by Cameron Casey and premiered in the US on 6 August 1993.[4]
