Biographie
Formed in 1989 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Therapy? was started by Andy Cairns (vocals, guiatrs), Fyfe Ewing (drums) and Michael Keegan (bass). The band quickly got to work on recording a number of early demos, which caught the attention of the legendary BBC DJ, John Peel, who played their single, “Meat Abstract,” on his show. Signing with Wiijia Records, the two EPS, “Baby Teeth” and “Pleasure Death” found Therapy? a growing number of fans in the UK and these early EPs also gained a US release as “Caucasian Psychosis” on Touch & Go Records.
Therapy? attracted major label attention before the trio decided to sign with A&M Records. “Hats of the Insane” helped set mouths watering for Therapy’s major debut full-length and they’re not to be disappointed. 1994’s “Troublegum” found huge success, with their melodic riffs brining them commercial exposure, nestling well alongside the popularity of grunge.
“Internal Love” followed in 1995, with the trio also embarking on extensive tours. The album was bleak and dark and remains one of their moodiest offerings. The band split from A&M Records after its release and joined Ark 21, releasing “Suicide Pact: You First,” regaining their enthusiasm. A greatest hits compilation, “Shameless” followed in 2001 yet it was released to growing internal problems, with the lineup changing, with Andy Cairns joined by Neil Cooper and Michael McKeegan, after Fyfe Ewing, Martin McCarrick and Graham Hopkins had all left to pursue different music ventures.
Again with a streamlined lineup, Therapy? certainly did not let this show with their 2006 release, “One Cure Fits All.” Heavy touring followed before again hitting the studio to work on their tenth album, “Crooked Timber” in 2009. Still very much a tour de force, Therapy? continued to destroy stages across the globe, soon finding themselves celebrating the release of their fourteenth studio album, “Disquiet,” in 2015, proving still that they are at the top of their game and one of the most important acts in the alternative metal scene.
Avis
Therapy? are a band who during the nineties made some of the best albums and E.P.s ever in Nurse, Troublegum etc. Infernal love was the album I lost interest in and it was around this time they replaced their fantastic drummer.
Therapy? never recovered from this setback in my eyes, I stopped buying their albums but on the 11th Nov 2000 they were playing at The leadmill in Sheffield supported by Dog Toffee. I had to go. They were excellent playing old with the new (to be fair I wanted to hear the classics) and I was soaked with sweat jumping in the moshpit to songs like "Nowhere". I've seen them five times at The Leadmill the best being the gig with The Wildhearts.
Therapy? write infectious pop tunes with a punk/metallic edge which also transcends to an indie audience. The last time I saw them was at the O2 Academy and they weren't great there but that might be the choice of venue. Therapy? are always worth seeing and buy Troublegum it's their finest hour.

I've seen Therapy? so many times live now and they seem to keep getting better and better. Another awesome show on top of a list of awesome shows, the setlist included classic favorites and songs from their new album, so a nice mix. The icing on the cake? We had a pre-show beer in a local pub and Andy just happened to be doing exactly the same thing, so we got to say hello and a friend got his old Troublegum tape signed. Andy was a genuinely good guy too. Altogether an awesome band.

Yet another high energy tight show from the Therapy? Guys
Songs from disquiet were well received as well as the old favourites such as knives and potato junky.
A room full of fans grinning from ear to ear spilled into the Nottingham streets after worshipping at the church of noise...

A great night and show for a band I've loved since the early 90's. Seen them in big venues and on huge festival stages. So to see them in an intimate venue was awesome. Still the nicest most down to earth band out there, who really do give a shit about their loyal fanbase

A high energy, quality performance from a scandalously under-rated band, who still sound as good, 22 years after I last saw them. Worth the wait!! So many great tunes that people probably forget they've heard, but it's great to remind them!!

Really good gig. They're full of energy and one can see that they're having fun on stage.
I'm glad they also played music from other albums after they played Infernal love, specially songs from Troublegum, including "Knives" :)

I loved the show!
Theraphy?'s energy and band interaction is always great!
It makes me enjoy their gigs even more as you can see they play coz it's their life and they still do it with the same enthusiasm they had 20 years ago

Decent gig, quite nostalgic, good energy, in good form and played a lot of the classics, sound wasn't magnificent, but perhaps that was just me.
Gotta say, really enjoyed Trigger Finger, what a band, what a find!!!
