Northern Irish rockers THE ANSWER have announced that they have re-signed with Napalm Records. The band released their last album, "New Horizon" (reviewed HERE), in September 2013 and has just finished work on their new follow-up record, entitled "Raise A Little Hell". The album will be released on March 6th (GSA/Benelux), March 9th (UK and Europe) and March 10th in North America.
Hot on the heels of the new album announcement, THE ANSWER are set to perform a couple of UK festival shows this winter at which they will be featuring new material from the forthcoming album. In March 2015, they will hit the road again on a comprehensive UK headline tour which will be followed by a soon to be announced European run of shows. A complete list of UK dates can be found below.
Lead vocalist Cormac Neeson commented, “We’re delighted to be extending our relationship with the Napalm family and look forward to great times ahead! During summer 2014 we hightailed ourselves down to Madrid to record our new album with long time friend and producer, Will Maya. Our time in Spain represents one of the most productive and enjoyable chapters in THE ANSWER’s colourful history. Our new album "Raise A Little Hell" comes from deep down inside. We brought the Blues, the swagger and soul back into the studio and emerged from it with an album that encapsulates our unabated love for making the music we make. We’re all incredibly proud and thrilled with this record!”
