Give me Therapy?

This weekend I stumbled across a second hand record shop in Yorkshires most easterly outpost, the city known as Hull. An unwelcoming grey landscape almost forgotten by the rest of civilised society. Anyway, I found this - Therapy's Troublegum album from '94.

Now it ain't hardcore or punk but god damn I loved this album back then, and it still gets as occasional play from me even now. So I was pretty pleased to find It on green vinyl.

That first song 'Knives' pulls me in every time. For me they went down hill at an alarming rate after this album, and never managed to repeat this wonderful blend of punk/metal/rock with pop sensibility.

    Just out of curiosity, what record shop was it? I used to live near Hull & went to school there. Also used to scour the 2nd hand stores circa '92-93.

    Ah, ok. Don't know it. Still, any used record store is cool these days!
