dynamic Central Queensland trio, ViperSnatch are thrilled to release their new single “Therapy” that is out now on all platforms via Golden Robot Records. “Therapy’ is the latest emotionally-charged single from Central Queensland’s rising alternative band, ViperSnatch. In this raw and powerful track, the band crafts a stark juxtaposition between delicate and aggressive musical elements, creating a sonic landscape that mirrors the complexities of its subject matter. Shimmering clean guitar tones, ethereal vocals, and haunting flute melodies set an atmospheric foundation, before the track explodes into a punk-infused barrage of gritty basslines and thunderous drums. This dynamic contrast underscores the emotional weight behind the song’s themes.
At its core, ‘Therapy’ delves deeply into the trauma and emotional scars left by sexualisation, abuse, and sexual assault experienced by young women. ViperSnatch confronts these painful realities head-on, exploring how these experiences shape a woman’s view of intimacy and trust in her relationships with men. The band refuses to shy away from these hard truths, delivering a bold, unflinching narrative that exposes the ongoing impacts of trauma.
More than just a reflection on pain, ‘Therapy’ is also a call for acknowledgment, healing, and empowerment. Through its poignant lyrics and cathartic instrumentation, the song offers a voice to those who have been silenced and a raw confrontation of issues that are too often pushed to the margins.
ViperSnatch continues to prove themselves as not only skilled musicians but fearless storytellers, using their music to provoke meaningful dialogue and awareness around vital social issues.
