The Rubens - Group Therapy The Rubens

Group Therapy is the sixth studio album from Menangle's The Rubens. A turn back toward the live, guitar-driven sound the band built their name on, cut together in the room rather than assembled from the synth-led experiments of 2024's SODA.

The album is Sam Margin's path through therapy and sobriety, and the communal, faintly therapeutic business of playing to a room full of people. It is led by "Love Me America", following singles "Goanna" and "Are You Getting High".

Fifteen years on from a Triple J Unearthed demo, the band arrive with five ARIA top 5 albums behind them, including the number one 0202, a Hottest 100 winner in "Hoops", and multiple platinum singles.

"A love song to America, but not a simple one. It's about the scale of its promise, the thrill of chasing something big." - Sam Margin
