Ampocalypse | Sebastian Fischer of Samurai Pizza Cats on Press Start and Controlled Chaos

In this episode of Ampocalypse, Damian FitzGerald is joined by Sebastian Fischer of Samurai Pizza Cats to dive into the band’s high-energy new album Press Start. Following the chaos and intensity of their previous release You’re Hellcome, Sebastian shares how the band pushed their sound further, embraced unpredictability in the songwriting process, and built a record that captures both their evolution and their signature madness. With Press Start now out, the conversation explores how fans have responded, what the album represents for the band, and the excitement surrounding their rapidly growing live presence — including a sold-out festival that marks a major moment in their journey.

Beyond the music, this episode of Ampocalypse takes a turn into the unknown as Sebastian faces a hypothetical apocalypse scenario. From survival instincts to the role music would play at the end of the world, the discussion brings out both humour and insight, perfectly capturing the spirit of the show. It’s a conversation that blends chaos, creativity, and curiosity — everything you’d expect from Samurai Pizza Cats in and out of the studio.
