THERAPY?
Ireland’s Therapy? play a hard-edged brand of industrial tinged hard rock.
Northern Ireland’s Therapy? might have been amongst the vast number of bands who benefited from
the rise of Nirvana and grunge in the early '90s, but they proved their worth by outlasting that trend
and any number of sub-strains that followed throughout the subsequent two decades. They might have
frustrated the unit shifters who banked on them to follow the pack and hit the charts, but they never felt the
need to cash in. By constantly expanding upon a frame of influential references
that included the usual suspects (Black Sabbath) and the not-so-usual for a metal band
(Killing Joke, Hüsker Dü, Buzzcocks), Therapy? released a number of records that constantly
challenged themselves and their fans. The band carried a melodic sensibility that also separated them from
their alternative metal peers, and although Andy Cairns' lyrical exorcisms were often clichéd, they were
never innocuous. As the bridge between Metallica and Nirvana, they never played it straight or safe...

After recording a brief initial demo, singer/guitarist Andy Cairns and drummer Fyfe Ewing recruited
bassist Michael McKeegan. The trio recorded the Meat Abstract single, pressing a limited amount
on vinyl and releasing it on their own Multifuckingnational label. BBC DJ John Peel played it on his program
shortly after receiving it, and Wiija boss Gary Walker became interested
after hearing the single through Silverfish's Lesley Rankine...(AllMusic)
