Stiff Little Fingers Suspect Device Belfast band Stiff Little Fingers, inspired early on by The Clash, began playing covers of punk songs. Their early successes, Suspect Device and Wasted Life were expressions of their life in Belfast and were representative of the energized punk that would become their forte. Their 1979 Inflammable Material album, a rage against "the Troubles" in Northern Ireland, debuted at number 14 in the UK: Don't believe them Don't believe them Question everything you're told Just take a look around you At the bitterness and spite Why can't we take over and try to put it right      --from Suspect Device The band, whose albums generally contain an "Explicit Lyrics!" warning, split in early '83 but reunited in '87 to sell-out crowds.
