Raised on a heady diet of Led Zeppelin, Free, The Who and The Black Crowes, The Answer have a contemporary take of bluesy, riff heavy, hard rock.

In 2004, after supporting the The Darkness at an open-air festival in Belfast, Northern Ireland, The Darkness and Alter Bridge asked them to support their winter tour.

The release of their debut EP Keep Believin in July 2005 helped secure them a place on the successful "New School Of Rock Tour" in 2005 alongside fellow upcoming rock bands The Sound Explosion and Tokyo Dragons.

In 2005, Classic Rock Magazine voted The Answer as 'Best New Band 2005' which brought them even more exposure. Shortly after, in November 2005 came their second official release - the single "Never Too Late". New single "Into The Gutter" was released on 29 May, 2006 via 7" vinyl and download only, with debut album Rise released on 26 June, 2006. The album has already received rave reviews from Kerrang!, Classic Rock Magazine, The Sun.

The Answer are playing several festivals over the summer months, including support dates with Whitesnake across the UK. They have recently covered the Aerosmith song "Sweet Emotion" for a free Kerrang! CD.

The Answer recently announced on there website that they will be co-headlining with fellow British Rockers Roadstar on a tour across the UK, they have also been nominated for "Best Newcomer" in the Kerrang awards.

I think they rock. I saw them live on the School of Rock Tour alongside the Sound Ex. and they moved me to buy their EP. I got their album 'Rise' the other day and I must say it rocks. Any other fans out there? If you havn't heard of them, I highly reccomend them to you all. They're the spirit of Led Zeppelin in a 21st Century world.
