These 4 B-sides have previously only been available digitally and are making their first appearance on CD.
Northern Irish alternative rock band Therapy? formed in Larne in 1989 and is known for its lacerating lyrics, tuneful angst, pummeling drums, and inventive—often abrasive—musicality. One Cure Fits All was originally released on Spitfire Records on April 24th, 2006. Over the course of its career, Therapy? has released 16 albums and sold over two million albums worldwide. The trio has had numerous UK top 40 singles, earned a Mercury Music Prize nomination, played Top of the Pops, and has been honored by the Kerrang! Awards. Therapy? has performed at festivals such as Knebworth, Hellfest, Sonisphere, Wacken Open Air, and Donington, the latter at Metallica’s request.
In the early 1990s, Therapy? signed to A&M Records, releasing four critically acclaimed albums celebrated for their polished, anthemic sound. Following their major-label era, the band briefly expanded its lineup to include a cellist before returning to its lean and mean trio configuration for One Cure Fits All. The album was produced by Pedro Ferreira, who was coming off a major success after producing The Darkness’ UK chart-topping Permission to Land.
The production sheen of One Cure Fits All recalls the band’s major-label years, pairing some of its catchiest songwriting with the heft-and-hooks sensibility that defined their most popular period. Folded within this welcomed familiarity is the moodiness that characterized the band’s later work, making One Cure Fits All the perfect then-and-now summation of the band’s sound. The album features the band’s current lineup: founding vocalist and guitarist Andy Cairns, bassist Michael McKeegan (both of whom appeared on the breakthrough 1994 album Troublegum), and drummer Neil Cooper.
