Troublegum

Troublegum is the fourth studio album by the Northern Irish rock band Therapy?, released on 7 February 1994 by A&M Records. The album features a more punk-oriented style after the success of "Screamager", and is compared to Stiff Little Fingers and the Undertones after the band's previous noise rock-influenced works. It was promoted with several singles, most of which received promo videos. Troublegum is the band's most successful album, selling over one million copies worldwide; Kerrang! rated it as the best album of 1994.

==Background and recording== On 8 March 1993, Therapy? released their first extended play, the Shortsharpshock E.P. It contains the track "Screamager", which was also released as a single the same day. "Screamager" diverged from the band's noise rock style to pop-punk, and was initially considered a "one-off". However, its success convinced them to record an album entirely in this vein. Frontman Andy Cairns cited Ulster punk bands such as Stiff Little Fingers, the Undertones and Rudi as influences.
