The first of my few Therapy? posts had to start somewhere in their early career but also as they were becoming more well known. ShortSharpShock was the opening gambit for the 1994 Therapy? album Troublegum. Screamager finds the boy’s from Northern Ireland in the UK charts and on prime time TV. ShortSharpShock was the break through single released in 1993 during which it’s become a busy time for Therapy? A European festival tour beckons with two separate jaunts to America supporting Kings X and later in the year Helmet and The Jesus Lizard followed by their first gigs in Japan. The opening track on the single, Screamager, finds the boys with nothing to do but hang around and get screwed up on you. The signature angry guitar is in full effect with the inventive drum patterns showing that even with A&M the band weren’t for toning down their song writing. Andy Cairns darkly original approach to lyrics and unconventional song structures make this EP a must listen.
