Speech was the fourth and last album of the British blues-rock band Steamhammer.
In 1971, Kieran White and Steve Davy left Steamhammer, and bassist Louis Cennamo joined guitarist Martin Pugh and drummer Mick Bradley. This lineup, together with session vocalist Garth Watt-Roy, recorded this album, which was released in 1972. It consisted of three long and mostly instrumental songs.
Due to the Bradley's untimely death from leukemia, shortly after the album's release, Steamhammer dissolved, and Speech ended up being their final album. After Bradley's death, the remaining members, guitarist Martin Pugh and Cennamo joined up with former Yardbirds vocalist Keith Relf (who also contributed uncredited lyrics and background vocals to this record) and drummer Bobby Caldwell, formerly of Johnny Winter's band and Captain Beyond, to form Armageddon.
