Therapy? are an alternative metal band from Northern Ireland. The band was formed in 1989 by guitarist-vocalist Andy Cairns and drummer-vocalist Fyfe Ewing. To complete the line-up, the band recruited bassist Michael McKeegan. 1994 saw the release of the commercially successful 'Troublegum' album which earned the band appearances at a string of rock and indie festivals, including Reading, Donington and Phoenix in the UK alone, as well as a clutch of top 40 singles. It achieved a string of nominations in end-of-year polls, including a Mercury Music Prize nomination, and success at the Kerrang! Awards. The album has a melodically dark, metal-like sound. 'Troublegum' is generally considered to be Therapy? at their musical and commercial peak and has since sold over one million copies worldwide
