Therapy? let "Teethgrinder" loose on 19 October 1992 through A&M, a single cut from their album Nurse, and it's a three-way writing job for Andy Cairns, Fyfe Ewing and Michael McKeegan. Cairns plays guitar and sings, McKeegan works the electric bass, and Ewing drums and adds his own voice. Harvey Birrell produced and mixed it, Nick Atkins recorded it, and the tag it wears is industrial metal, which sounds about right for a song named after clenching your jaw.

It climbed to 30 on the UK Singles Chart and 19 in Ireland, and A&M sold it every which way: seven-inch, limited purple seven-inch, CD, CD digipak, 12-inch and a remix 12-inch, with the two 12-inches also boxed up as a limited presentation pack. Later it roared out of the PlayStation and Sega Saturn versions of Road Rash. The Shortsharpshock E.P. followed.
