Fight Fight Fire / Yuppie Yeah

Single (Digital, 2025)
SABO162

Grown to a quartet in the meantime, the post-punk band Suspectre returns with a double single on Sabotage Records.

Fight Fight Fire is an angry, punk-driven punch at your X account: a song about endless online battles where insults are the norm, troll armies march in, and political participation often doesn’t go beyond a like. And amid all the crises we scroll through, bubbles clash online until the next spectacle starts trending.

The B-side, Yuppie Yeah, comes across more easy-going and danceable, with a wink toward the ’70s. This garage-y track pokes fun at finance bros and career opportunists who, despite their bourgeois posturing, are ultimately just grinding away for a paycheck.

Together, the two songs showcase both sides of Suspectre: energetic and edgy—while also melodic, danceable, and always biting. The double single is available now on all major streaming platforms.

8-Song LP (2025)
SABO155

„2,“ the title of the second record, is an exciting and appealing mix of jangly punk and raw pop. With driving drums and garage influences, post-punk explores its danceable side. The eight songs are full of inspiration and ideas while remaining refreshingly light-footed. The two-part melodic vocals give the whole thing a very unique character.
 
The music is accompanied by lyrics that trace the tensions of contemporary life. Suspectre search for meaning in a world of alienation, injustice, and triviality. They explore inner conflicts and the impact of today’s technologies on relationships. In doing so, they encounter moments of speechlessness and frustration, but also moments of hope.
 
The physical record comes with stylish artwork, high-quality packaging, and completely random vinyl colors, so each record also holds a little visual surprise.

8-Song LP (2021)
SABO133

The debut record contains 8 songs, that are a diffusely influenced blend of various punk-related genres held together by its basic 3 instrument arrangement. Combining the rhythm-driven verve of garage punk with a warm and melodic pop appeal, they create their very own sound in the vast post-punk landscape.

Lyrically the songs reflect on inner states and depict the individuals’ behavior in modern consumerist society. In particular they focus on the experiences of alienation and social pressure. Meandering between the discontent of unsolved expectations and the longing for something better, they comment on the strains of contemporary life.
