Hard Rockers The Treatment Announce 'Medication For The Nation' UK Tour
Friday, 14 October 2011
Written by Jon Stickler
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 (the O2 Academy), plus an appearance at the sold-out Hard Rock Hell event in Prestatyn, Wales.
The Treatment – the five-strong teenage outfit based in the Cambridge area – will release the video for new single ‘The Doctor’ on November 28th ; the follow-up to their first single ‘Drink, F**k, Fight’ , which is taken from the band’s debut studio album, ‘This Might Hurt.
‘This Might Hurt’ features 11 original tracks (the likes of ‘Departed’, ‘Shake The Mountain’ and ‘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. The band also have deep and collective regard for the works of the Clash, the Pistols and early Dr Feelgood (they are called The Treatment, after all!)
