Rising UK rockers The Treatment announce ‘Medication For The Nation’ UK headline tour for December 2011 along with Halloween show in Birmingham; debut album, “This Might Hurt”, out now on the Spinefarm label…
The Treatment have announced a 16-date headline UK tour for December 2011, with Special Guests to be confirmed; this run of shows comes in the wake of a full European run with Alice Cooper (including dates in Bristol & Sheffield), a Halloween (October 31st) appearance with Skindred, Therapy? & others in Birmingham (O2 Academy), plus an appearance at the sold-out Hard Rock Hell event in Prestatyn, Wales.
In support of this pre-Christmas activity, The Treatment – the five-strong teenage outfit based in the Cambridge area – will issue new single/video ‘The Doctor’ on November 28th ; the follow-up to their first ‘Drink, F**k, Fight’ single/video, the track is taken from the band’s debut studio album, ‘This Might Hurt’…
Produced by Airrace guitarist/songwriter Laurie Mansworth and mixed by Tony Newton at Iron Maiden main-man Steve Harris’ Barnyard Studio in Essex, ‘This Might Hurt’ features 11 original compositions (the likes of ‘Departed’, ‘Shake The Mountain’ & ‘Nothing To Lose But Our Minds’), plus a cover of ‘Road Rocket’, a song originally recorded by early-’80s UK rockers More.
The UK version of the album comes complete with 2 bonus tracks.
The Treatment may still be tender in years, but their influences are largely drawn from the classic names of the hard rock genre – the likes of AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, Def Leppard, Aerosmith and Guns n’ Roses; add to this a deep and collective regard for the works of the Clash, the Pistols and early Dr Feelgood (they are called The Treatment, after all!), and you have a band who may look as though they’re barely into long trousers, but whose music is all about big hooks and confident swagger; about energetic, well-crafted compositions, plus the sort of in-yer-face attitude that has excited rock fans the world over for the past four decades.
