Following the success of 2015’s album, Disquiet, Therapy? announce a special edition EP release of Tides in time for their latest UK tour dates.

Tides is the third single taken from Disquiet, and will be released as a limited edition CD, featuring two exclusive new B-sides – Smile or Die and Slippies, and a remix of Insecurity by industrial/electro producer Pitchphase.

Produced by Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood / Band of Skulls / Turbowolf) and released by Amazing Record Co., Disquiet achieved great critical acclaim, featuring in the Albums of the Year lists for the likes of Metalhammer, Terrorizer and Team Rock, as well as being hugely popular with fans, who declared it a worthy successor to 1994’s iconic Troublegum.

On writing Tides, frontman Andy Cairns says:

“When I lived in Dun Laoghaire in Ireland I used to live near the harbour, and some nights I’d stay up all night to try to get inspiration for songs and I often ended up going down to the pier and just looking out at the waves. Later on I found out that Samuel Beckett used to get a great deal of influence from that as well… I took that low point in my life and how I managed to dig myself out of it as an inspiration.”

“Originally Tides was written kinda like Die Laughing or Nowhere off Troublegum, with a catchy Husker Di-influenced chorus, but we took a bit of influence from bands like My Bloody Valentine with the brief section of warped guitar.”

Outsiders from day one, Therapy? have drawn upon the attendant feelings of alienation, frustration and dislocation for strength and inspiration across their remarkable 26 year career, crafting a dark, idiosyncratic world view which has garnered the group a reputation as one of the most uncompromising, creative and individualistic bands of their generation.

The tightly wound punk-metal of 1994’s Troublegum propelled Therapy? into the UK Top 5, sold one million copies worldwide and spawned no less than five Top 40 singles, landing the band a Mercury Music Prize nomination in the process. Disquiet extends this proud legacy, and finds the trio of vocalist/guitarist Andy Cairns, bassist Michael McKeegan and drummer Neil Cooper in incendiary form.

Tides is out on 15th April, and will be available from all usual digital stores.

The limited edition CD will be available at all dates on the band’s UK tour, and from the Amazing Record Co. website – amazingrecordco.com
