Never Apologise Never Explain
Never Apologise Never Explain is the eighth full-length album from Therapy?, released on 27 September 2004 through Spitfire Records. It was the band's second record for the label, following High Anxiety, and it sits in a run of albums that stretches from the early nineties through to the present day.
The record was made in June 2004 at Parkgate Studios in Hastings, and it marked a return to the trio format for the first time since Infernal Love in 1995. That makes it a useful one to hear if you're curious about how the band sounded stripped back to three players, with a mix of hard rock, alternative metal and indie rock in the frame. It's a good companion for anyone who knows Troublegum and wants to follow the story into the new millennium.
