Artist: The Answer

At the start of the year, HMV named them as one of their top 10 tips for 2009. Rolling Stone Magazine put them on their 2009 Hot List. Their debut album was a critical and popular success, selling over 100,000 copies worldwide. They’ve supported AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Aerosmith amongst others. They’ve headlined their own shows in Europe, Japan and Australia. Jimmy Page is a fan, and has apparently been to a number of gigs. And they’re from County Down.
Who are they ? They’re The Answer and they’re back with their long-awaited 2nd album. Which can be a daunting prospect for a lot of bands. They come to their debut album, and a lot of bands will have been together for a while, touring with songs that they know backwards. Then comes album number two, which in a lot of cases can be less worthy than it’s predecessor.
Produced by John Travis (Kid Rock, Monster Magnet, Buckcherry), I originally thought that was the case here, but the more I listen to this the better it gets. I liked the album on first listen, but I just didn’t think most of the songs on here really grabbed you by the throat. Instead, they’ve sneaked up behind me and given me a right good kicking.
