Treatment - The Might Hurt

The Treatment release their debut album, 'This Might Hurt' via the Spinefarm label. Produced by Airrace guitarist/songwriter Laurie Man worth and mixed by Tony Newton at Iron Maiden main-man Steve Harris' Barnyard Studio in Essex, this debut release features 11 original compositions, plus a cover of 'Road Rocket', a song originally recorded by early-'80s UK rockers More. A five-strong outfit based in the Cambridge area of the UK, The Treatment may still be tender in years, but their influences are largely drawn from the truly 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 (drummer Dhani Man worth, son of Laurie, turns 18 this summer), but whose music is all about big hooks and confident swagger; about energetic, well-crafted compositions, plus the sort of low-slung, in-your-face attitude that has excited rock fans the world over for the past four decades.
