Formed in the wake of the original punk explosion of the late 1970s, Human Therapy has been writing, performing and recording since 1980. The band’s classic debut EP, “American Dream,” was originally released in 1983 on Doctor Dream Records. “The Sky Falls” single followed in 1985, with a song (“No More”) on Toxic Shock Records’ “Barricaded Suspects” compilation rounding out the band’s initial recorded output.

Human Therapy’s early years included shows with legendary names like the Cramps, Social Distortion, the Minutemen, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Dickies and countless others. The band toured the USA in 1985, after several regional tours around the Southwest. Human Therapy has played sporadically over the past few years, spending enough time together in the summer of 2007 to record its latest, “It’s So You,” for Hot Tramp Records.

There are no impending plans for a follow-up to “It’s So You,” but we here at Hot Tramp hope the band will someday soon accept our invitation to record again. Check back here for news on this and for information regarding the band’s annual summer live shows.
