They decide on the name Therapy?—it’s short and easy to remember.
Theraphy? with this new released in total 16 album, is a good number for a prolific band, with a strong personal character they made this in their only personal way been appreciated without ever selling themselves.
If you never listened to very particular and experimental and rock sound album listen to: SUICIDE PACT—YOU FIRST, SEMI-DETACHED, CROOKED TIMBER, ONE CURE FITS ALL, yes of cours TROUBLEGUM was the almbum with the most “pop” success.
