Suffocate Me was a 1993 extended play release and the debut single by Scottish band Angelfish. 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.
The music video for "Suffocate Me" famously aired once by MTV during 120 Minutes, where it was seen by Garbage co-founder Steve Marker. Shirley Manson was asked to join Garbage, and accepted.
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 August 6, 1993.
