THE ANSWER - NEW HORIZON (Napalm Records) Released September 30 2013 For a band that has been consistently great over the years it’s been amazing to hear them up the ante with each long-player. There must surely come a point when they can’t continue to top their last one? Well that time hasn’t come yet. ‘New Horizon’ is The Answer’s best yet... |
Northern Irish rockers The Answer have amassed a dedicated following internationally due to their electric live shows and soulful, blues tinged style of hard rock.
The band are on the verge of releasing their fourth studio album and embarking on a full 40 date UK tour. The new album, titled New Horizon, will release on September 30th.
We sat down with singer Cormac Neeson to talk about the new album and tour.

ALEX: Many thanks for taking the time to speak to The Rockpit Cormac. We’re a bit less than a month away from the release of your fourth studio album New Horizon. We’ve read some excellent reviews. How would you describe this album as a snapshot of this particular moment in your career? How have you guys progressed as a band since Rise?
|

ALEX: This album is a bit of a departure for you in that you decided to co-write it with a couple other guys. What made you decide to go this route?
|

ALEX: There’s not a weak moment on the album, we particularly loved the title track, the first single ‘Spectacular’ and the thick groove you’ve laid down on tracks like ‘Leave With Nothin’’ making it an album full of shades and textures, that manages to showcase everything we already know about the Answer then add that indefinable ‘something’. Does it feel like a continued evolution for you or a bigger leap forwards?

ALEX: What challenges come with putting together a new set when you’ve now got four albums of material to choose from?
