Therapy?

Therapy? merupakan band Rock Alternatif dari Irlandia Utara. Band ini dibentuk pada 1989 oleh gitaris sekaligus vokalis Andy Cairns dari Ballyclare, vokalis dan drummer-Fyfe Ewing dari Larne, Irlandia Utara. Band ini awalnya merekam demo pertama mereka dengan Cairns mengisi pada gitar bass. Untuk melengkapi lineup, band merekrut bassis Larne Michael McKeegan.
Dengan kepekaan pop tajam, rasa humor miring dan kemauan untuk menarik inspirasi dari berbagai sumber (terutama punk rock), Therapy? mendapat perhatian dalam kebangkitan awal 1990an dari rock alternatif, tapi bisa bertahan selama dua dekade sejak; kritikus Johnny Loftus menulis:


"setelah berkarir sepuluh tahun-plus yang sudah pernah melihat mereka hidup lebih lama dr para pesaing dan berupaya memperdaya industri pada kategorisasi ...


Terapi masih tetap headbangers dengan topi berpikir mereka disekrup dengan kuat. "


Meskipun sekarang menghilang dari grafik dan lebar perhatian media, Therapy? terus merilis materi, mendapatkan perhatian yang cukup untuk memungkinkan mereka untuk tur dan menghibur pengikut setia kecil. Setelah penambahan Neil Cooper pada drum, band ini telah menikmati lineup stabil sejak 2004. Therapy? saat ini ditandatangani Demolition Records, dengan distribusi di seluruh dunia melalui Global Music. Band ini telah menjual lebih dari dua juta album di seluruh dunia.
