Excellente Show, die Jungs hatten Bock! Der Sound ist klasse: Durch die Keyboards hat das ganze einen Touch der Soulmusik aus den 60er und 70er Jahren. Aber ohne den Schmalz und viel moderner. Ich komme wieder!

About The Answer

The Answer hail from Downpatrick, northern ireland, producing a classic rock sound with big guitars and and even bigger vocals. They won the Classic Rock Best New Band for 2005.

They are a modern rock band with a classic rock sound. They are obviously strongly influenced by artists like Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Black Crowes, Thin Lizzy and Free, and Cormac's searing vocals are reminiscent of Robert Plant's. When playing live they produce a varied set, combining hard rock songs with modernised blues covers.

The band played at a Phil Lynott memorial benefit gig in dublin, as Lynott’s mother is a big fan. So big in fact that she allowed bass player Micky Waters to be the first since Lynott’s death to open his case and play the legendary black bass within. It’s the same instrument that appears in the music video for Keep Believin'.

The band are set for even bigger things in 2007, including opening Main Stage Sunday at The Hyde Park Calling festival in support of Aerosmith.

The summer of 2007 also saw the band support The Rolling Stones at huge open-air gigs in Belgrade (Serbia), and Dusseldorf (Germany), and The Who in Dublin (Ireland).

They played a live set at the Planet Rock Radio Christmas Party, on December 11th 2007 at the Islington Academy, London, during which they were joined on stage by the legendary Free & Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers.

"The Answer, best group since Free." ~ Paul Rodgers

In June 2008 they played a short set at the Isle Of Wight Festival. A few days later they boarded an aeroplane bound for Los Angeles, where they entered a recording studio to lay down the tracks for their second album.

The song "Never Too Late" will be featured in the upcoming Guitar Hero IV video game.

There's another band with the same name. The Answer, from late 60's. A rock/pop band with one hit single: The Disadvantage Of You - a song that became a jingle for 'Benson & Hedges' cigarettes.
