The road to rock ’n’ roll glory is littered with bands that blazed brightly for a few moments and then fizzled out to nothing.

But every now and then there’s a band that walks, and talks and rocks like true saviours.

Step forward Northern Ireland’s THE ANSWER, find since 2000 earning rock ‘n’ roll credentials and making the kind of life-affirming, sovaldi sale eardrum-threatening music that separates the truly great from the merely adequate.

Hitting the mainstream in 2005 with Keep Believin’ and Classic Rock Award for Best New Band, and consolidating with massively acclaimed debut album Rise, a huge seller. Full-on rock for cantankerous classic rock fans to bright-eyed teenagers? Yes, please …

Follow-up Everyday Demons accompanied a two year tour support stint with AC/DC, playing some of the biggest venues on the planet. “We were thrown to the wolves and all we had to fall back on was the four of us playing together,” said guitarist Paul Mahon. “We had to make it work and dig in hard. After all that time on the road, the fat has gone and we’re DIRECT!”

Newly revitalised, 2012 was spent writing songs brought vividly to life on fourth album New Horizon – rock ‘n’ roll as it is meant to be: raging, crackling, sparking with energy, CLASSIC!

“We want every album to count, but we wanted this one to be direct” says Cormac, “We did a lot of soul-searching and honed in on the groove. Lyrically, I wanted to present my message like a Northern Irish guy should, with no frills and totally in your face.”

The Answer, then. An infectious gospel of good rockin’ times and super-amplified soul. They’re fired up and ready to go!
