Suspect Device
Suspect Device is a punk anarcho fanzine from the UK. It is now based in Southampton, UK.
It is put together by Tony Suspect and Gaz Suspect, who started the zine in 1984.
At the moment the zine is on its 61st issue (as of December 2023). Inspired by the Dorest fanzine Damaged, Tony and Gaz released their first issue in 1984 which contained band interviews, record reviews and some politics. It also has record and zine reviews, personal writings in the forum of columns from many different contributors. It has had tour reports of UK bands playing around the world and had also a diary about travelling to the US to record an album.
The zine is often a big chunky zine with up to 9 interviews per issue. The zine was mostly an A5 zine but since issue 47 has been A4.
Issues have featured interviews with Jallu of Phoenix Foundation, The Steal, Hank Jones, Affirmative Action Jackson, You Me & The Atom Bomb, writer Danny Leigh as well as a feature on the early DIY punk scene in Dorset, Subhumans, Propagandhi, The Varukers, Burning Airlines and Wat Tyler to name but a few.
In 2006 a book '20 years of Suspect Device fanzine' was published, which was £6.
