Despite their short lived existence, I was fortunate enough to catch this band live once and they were really good. They were maybe only together for under a year and went their separate ways once Therapy? got the deal with Wiiija and took to touring more. Don’t know if the few shows they played were recorded but i got this sometime in late 1990/early 1991 and it should definitely prove interesting to fans of Therapy? as it displays Cairns interest in melodic punk way ahead of ‘Screamager’ etc. Vocals were shared and I’m guessing song writing also, as the track ‘Unbeliever’, sung by Andy Cairns, appears to have transformed into ‘Nowhere’ four years later! The tape is quite rough and was made with a boombox or portable tape recorder. There is a lot of fluctuation on the first track which is a pity as it’s a good one but it clears up when the tape is stopped at the end of the song, which leads me to think it was a problem with the original recorder. The other side of my tape plays fine.
Hope you enjoy this, i think ‘Pesky Injun’ is worth the download alone.

Therapy?
Dave Fanning Session
RTE radio, Dublin, Ireland
14th October 1990
Source: 3rd? gen. pre-FM cassette > teac v-550x tape deck > m-audio duo > dsp-quattro 2.1 > xACT
Track 1-4: This was a tape of the session passed out by the band prior to broadcast back in 1990. This copy is about 2nd or 3rd generation and has some tape hiss between tracks which can’t be noticed once the music kicks in (you could always remove it yourself if such things bother you). The tracks were subsequently broadcast in a different order.
Track 5: This was not a part of the broadcast. It is an unreleased rehearsal from ‘89 or ‘90 that one of the band had included on an old mix-tape. I don’t think it’s seen any circulation so is included here as a bonus.
Sound quality overall is a fair B+ with the exception of track 5 which sounds like it could have been made on an old boom-box.
1. Reality fuck 4:28
2. Innocent X 3:50
3. Dancin’ with Manson 5:37
4. Body O.D. 3:26
5. Mind, body and soul 7:37
Total running time 24:58
Enjoy
