- The Answer are four lads hailing from Downpatrick in Northern Ireland.
Raised on a heady diet of Led Zeppelin, Free, The Who and The Black Crowes, The Answers contemporary take of bluesy, riff heavy hard rock is starting to turn heads. The band spent last year touring with Alterbridge, The Darkness, Deep Purple, Sound Explosion and The Tokyo Dragons and making their debut album. At a recent London gig none other than Jimmy Page stood and watched their set from side of stage and theyve already played at a Phil Lynott memorial benefit gig in Dublin as Lynotts mother is a big fan. So big in fact that she allowed Waters to be the first since Lynotts death to open his bass case and play the revered black iconic bass axe! Its the same black bass that appears in the original video to Keep Believin.
Their new album, 'RISE', is now available through all good record stores and download sites.

Lisbon + Other News
TOUR NEWS - So sadly the band will not be supporting AC/DC tonight in Lisbon. There has been a very sad death within the family so the band have had to spend the last few days back in Belfast. The guys will be back on stage on Friday in Madrid. Other tour news, we are busy booking shows in America to go along with the dates we will be doing on the AC/DC Black Ice tour there, more news very soon. For those of you in the states we will trying to cover as many towns and cities as we can while we are there. The tickets for the Everyday Demons UK tour are selling well, more news on special guests soon. For the rescheduled UK shows in Brighton, Belfast, Glasgow and Nottingham there will be limited edition poster given out to the first 100 through the doors each night, a little thank you to the hard corps fans for having to rearrange these shows. The same poster will be on sale at the shows for any one who arrives late. There are a few returns for the shows in Nottingham and Brighton so if you missed out first time round give the venues a call now to grab the last few tickets. As I said more news here soon.
ALBUM / SINGLE NEWS - The re-issue of Everyday Demons will be out in main land Europe next week, see previous news story. The next single is TONIGHT which is released in the UK on June 28th now. The digital bundle will include unreleased versions of Tonight and Dead Of The Night. The version of Tonight is a great acoustic version and the version of Dead Of The Night is a live electric version. For the completists out there these will appear on cd later this year so dont sweat it.
OTHER NEWS - Our good friends at Across The Line on BBC Radio in Nortern Ireland rather rashly offered to let the band take over the show for the night, the results will be aired on June 8th at 8 pm until 10 pm. The show was prerecorded so they could edit out all the swearing!! Check it out if you can. If you miss it or live else where then you should be able to hear it at www.bbc.co.uk/atl the following day.
If you check out the forum there will be links there to view the new video and also an exclusive bit of film from the tour, check it out.1 Comment 28 days

UK Headline Club Shows Postponed
Due to ligament / tendon damage to drummer James Heatleys left hand, THE ANSWER regret to announce the postponement their imminent UK headline club shows. The affected shows are as follows:
Apr 20th Belfast Mandela Hall
Apr 22nd Nottingham Rescue rooms
Apr 24th Glasgow Grand Central
RESCHEDULED DATES ARE (ALL TIX WILL BE VALID FOR THE NEW DATES):
JUNE 29th BELFAST MANDELA HALL
JULY 2nd GLASGOW GRAND CENTRAL
JULY 3rd NOTTINGHAM RESCUE ROOMS
Says singer Cormac Neeson, “We are bitterly disappointed to have to postpone our UK headline shows especially for all our fans who have been waiting so patiently for so long. We have left the decision to the absolute last minute in the hope that the medical problem with our drummer James might get better. Unfortunately his hand is swollen and he is in immense pain. He has struggled with pain-killers to get through the recent 30 minute support sets on the AC/DC tour and whilst he can perform a short support set, it is a medical impossibility for him to perform a full one hour and fifteen minute headline set at present.
We are all very upset that we cannot play our full headline show and we will reschedule the postponed shows as soon as we can.
Furthermore and as a token of our appreciation to all our disappointed fans we will provide a free and new limited signed tour poster for everyone who has purchased a ticket and this will be distributed at the rescheduled shows.
Once again we are very sorry at not being able to perform but you know we would never postpone any show unless it was an absolute necessity and in this case we are all hoping that James will make a swift and speedy recovery”
