Northern Ireland (1989 – present)

THERAPY? is a rock/metal-band from Northern Ireland. The band was formed in 1989 by guitarist/vocalist Andy Cairns and drummer Fyfe Ewing. The band initially recorded their first demo with Andy filling in on bass guitar. To complete the line up, the band recruited bassist Michael McKeegan.
With keen pop sensibilities, a skewed sense of humour and a willingness to draw inspiration from diverse sources (notably punk rock), Therapy? came to attention in the early 1990s rise of alternative rock, but have endured for more than a decade since; Critic Johnny Loftus writes…, “After a ten-plus year career that has seen them outlast competitors and outwit industry attempts at categorization, Therapy? are still headbangers with their thinking caps screwed on tight.”

Current line-up :
Andy Cairns (guitar, vocals) (1989 - )
Michael McKeegan (bass guitar, backing vocals) (1989 - )
Neil Cooper (drums) (2003 - )

Past members:
Fyfe Ewing (drums) (1989 - 1996)
Martin McCarrick (cello, guitar, backing vocals) (1996 - 2004)

Say, would anyone know why every Therapy? song I play does not appear on my last.fm list? It's all in the same directory and properly auto-tagged...

I think One Cure Fits All was a good album, not a misstep or a bad album, but not as good as Never Apologise Never Explain. But then, I think NANE is one of their best, so perhaps I'm comparing the two too much. Can't wait for the new album!

Seems like I'm the only one who dislikes One Cure Fits All. My faves are Troublegum and Infernal Love but I thought High Anxiety and Never Apologise Never Explain were almost as good.

As for the newer albums...ONE CURE FITS ALL is as big as anything they've done over the years. RAIN HITS CONCRETE is an incredible track. Cairns isn't too fond of the production by some accounts, but I think it blends the high velocity rhythm with Cairns' harsh vocals better than anything since Troublegum.

The new albums are not even close as good as Troublegum and Infernal Love.

I can't believe "Dancin' With Manson" isn't on their Most Played list. Those who haven't heard it should check it out!
