THE ANSWER To Release New Album This Fall By Tokemaster General, Contributor Wednesday, July 6, 2011 @ 6:43 AM
THE ANSWER, the award-winning Irish rockers whose emotive music and fearsome live reputation have won them a dedicated international following, will release their latest studio album this fall via Spinefarm Records/Universal.
Titled Revival and produced by the Grammy-nominated Chris ‘Frenchie’ Smith, with mixing handled by Chris Sheldon, this is the third studio album released by the Downpatrick quartet since first coming together a decade ago.
Says singer Cormac Neeson: “The studio we used was on a ranch in the middle of a pecan orchard near El Paso, next to the Mexican border – a wonderful place for creating music, with that whole Wild West vibe, and ‘Frenchie’ was always encouraging us to dream that bit bigger and rock that bit harder. We had a lot of fun, and the experience was a positive one from start to finish…”
To coincide with this new album, The Answer have announced their first UK tour since December 2009; the band spent the previous 18 months on the road with AC/DC on the latter’s record-breaking Black Ice world tour - the full story of which has been documented on The Answer’s recently released DVD/CD set, 412 Days Of Rock ‘n’ Roll, also available via Spinefarm.
Continues Cormac: “The Answer are back, and our mission is to revive rock ‘n’ roll from the grassroots up! We had two great years playing in some of the biggest venues in the world, but this time around, on the first leg of our ‘Revival’ tour, we’re going back to the sweaty, intimate venues where it all began. We’ve missed the intensity of being able to look our fans straight in the eye, and to have a beer with them after the show. We’ve got an entire album’s worth of new material, and we’re excited… bring it on!”
The first taste of new material from The Answer can be found exclusively on the Sonisphere website where you can download the brand new track ‘Piece By Piece’ for free.
