The Answer is a Northern Irish hard rock and blues-rock band from Newcastle and Downpatrick, County Down, Northern Ireland. They have achieved success with their debut album Rise selling in excess of 30,000 copies in the UK & Europe, 10,000 on day one in Japan and 100,000 worldwide. -Wikipedia
Consisting of Cormac Neeson on vocals, Paul Mahon on guitars, Micky Waters on bass, and James Heatley on drums, The Answer bring forth a sound of fury and good old-fashioned rock and roll thunder. Side note: Cormac met Paul in school: Like so many great musicians meet. So, I have to say if you’re a musician and you hate school, stay in any way as it may lead to a career push. Now, back to the review at hand. The band formed in 2000 and have put out four previous albums. I for one cannot understand why they have not had more worldwide acclaim as they clearly deserve it and I am putting it out in the universe to give them a hand up into eternal stardom with this fine record. -METALHOLIC
After emerging with ‘Rise’ close to a decade ago, The Answer received rave reviews, were lauded by their idols and even bagged a support slot with AC/DC, but never quite managed that elusive breakthrough. Then, just as blues-rock's stock was beginning to soar, they released 'New Horizon', a broadly forgettable album that sounded like their death knell. Which makes ‘Raise A Little Hell’ - quite simply the finest album of their career - a wonderful surprise.
This is a return to the uncompromising blood and guts rock ‘n' roll they did so well on their first two releases, while buzzing with a vitality, freshness and clarity of purpose that's indicative of a creative rebirth.
The songs follow the AC/DC blueprint and are not over produced, allowing the instrumental power and tightness of the group to drive proceedings while amplifying the phenomenal sense of groove on display. -Stereoboard. com
