The band was formed in Larne, County Antrim in 1989 by Andy Cairns, Fyfe Ewing and Michael McKeegan. Following the releases of Babyteeth (1991) and Pleasure Death (1992) on Wiiija Records, Therapy? signed a deal with A&M Records and quickly produced their major label debut Nurse (1992). Its follow-up, Troublegum (1994), reached the top 5 of the UK Album Charts selling a million units worldwide. Ewing left the group following the release of Infernal Love (1995). With the addition of two new members Graham Hopkins and Martin McCarrick, Therapy? released Semi Detached (1998), their final album for A&M Records. Two more albums, Suicide Pact – You First (1999) and Shameless (2001) were released under the Ark21/Universal banner. Neil Cooper replaced Hopkins in 2002. High Anxiety (2003) was released on Spitfire Records, preceding the departure of McCarrick.

Seven studio albums have since been released as a three piece – Never Apologise Never Explain (2004), One Cure Fits All (2006), Crooked Timber (2009), A Brief Crack of Light (2012), Disquiet (2015), Cleave (2018) and Hard Cold Fire (2023). Therapy? is currently signed to Marshall Records.
