THERAPY? unleash single 'Joy' as they announce upcoming sixteenth album

14 March 2023

Northern Irish rock outfit, THERAPY? announce their colossal new studio album Hard Cold Fire, a spiralling, hypnotic melange of grunge-rock and towering melody that sees the trio steadfast and reinvigorated.

Hard Cold Fire is set for release on May 5th 2023 via Marshall Records.

Accompanying the announcement, the band also shares their first offering in the form the riotous new single ‘Joy’.

“One thing we did decide when we were eventually able to rehearse, was that we didn't want to make a lockdown record,” says vocalist and guitarist Andy Cairns, “because people have been through enough."

“Well, 'Joy' started with a term from 'Waiting for Godot', by Samuel Beckett,” confesses Cairns “this wonderful line: 'habit is a great deadener'. I just love that word, 'dead-en-er'. It's an amazing word. People get themselves into these habits, and the next thing you know, their life is over and they've only lived in a very small circle of experience, often through choice, which is scary.”
