The Answer

Some Details...

The road to rock ‘n’ roll glory is littered with the smouldering remnants of bands that blazed brightly for a few brief moments and then fizzled out in a cloud of thwarted ambitions. But every now and then a band emerges that walk, talk and rock like true saviours of our beloved music’s spirit and soul. Founded in Northern Ireland in 2000, The Answer have spent the last 13 years proving their rock ‘n’ roll credentials and making the kind of life-affirming, eardrum-threatening music that separates the truly great from the merely adequate. And now the band are poised to unleash their fourth studio album, the insanely exhilarating New Horizon: not just the strongest, catchiest and most thrillingly vital album of their career to date, but also a fearsome statement of intent that obliterates the competition and showcases their trademark rock'n'roll evangelism. Joining forces with acclaimed producer and Little Angel, the mighty Toby Jepson, they have seldom sounded as electrified by their own celebratory sound as they do on this latest immaculate sonic offering.
“We started off the album process the same away as usual, by getting in a room and jamming like motherfuckers, taping everything and going back to the best ideas,” explains frontman Cormac Neeson. “The difference this time, especially once Toby was on board, was that we had a discussion about the album we wanted to make, we made a very clear game plan and we stuck to it. Every time we felt like wandering off and indulging ourselves, we’d rein it in and focus on making an album of direct rock ‘n’ roll songs that’d make you want to get on the dance floor and shake your shit!”
